Packers release 2-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander

Our Summary

The Green Bay Packers have released cornerback Jaire Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler, following reports from NFL Network and confirmation from the team. Once a standout player, Alexander's career has been hindered by injuries, limiting him to just seven games in both 2023 and 2024 due to various health issues. Despite a strong start in his early years, including a four-year, $84 million extension in 2022, negotiations for a pay cut led to his release. As a free agent at 28, Alexander may need a short-term deal to prove his fitness and secure a larger contract if he remains healthy.
