Packers releasing CB Jaire Alexander after seven seasons

The Green Bay Packers have decided to release cornerback Jaire Alexander, concluding months of speculation. The decision follows unsuccessful attempts to trade him during the 2025 NFL Draft and his refusal to accept a reduced salary to stay with the team. Despite his talent, consistent injuries have limited Alexander to only 14 games over the past two seasons. The Packers had anticipated playing without him in 2025, and will now rely on players like Keisean Nixon and recent additions to fill the gap. Alexander is expected to find opportunities with other teams, albeit with a likely lower salary due to his injury history.
