Packers Release Alexander, Roster Faces Key Changes

The Green Bay Packers are entering the 2025 season with quarterback Jordan Love leading the effort to become NFC contenders. The team made a pivotal move by releasing star cornerback Jaire Alexander after he declined to restructure his contract, raising questions about defensive depth. Offensive prospects are brighter, highlighted by rookie receiver Matthew Golden's strong impact during camp, which could threaten veteran Mecole Hardman's position. Running back Josh Jacobs and a deep receiver group provide offensive depth, but establishing a clear top receiver and improving divisional game performance remain priorities. Coach Matt LaFleur and Love focus on team improvement and playoff aspirations despite last year's divisional struggles. Ultimately, Green Bay's success will be judged by their playoff performance and ability to dominate the NFC North.
