Packers make CB Jaire Alexander's release official

The Green Bay Packers have released cornerback Jaire Alexander after unsuccessful attempts to renegotiate his contract, including pre-draft trade talks with the Buffalo Bills. Alexander, who refused a pay cut, was officially let go before the team's mandatory minicamp. Despite being a standout player and earning All-Pro honors in 2020 and 2022, Alexander's recent seasons were marred by injuries, limiting his playtime and prompting this decision. His release frees up $17 million in cap space, though $10 million remains on the 2026 cap. Alexander now enters free agency.
