Packers Weigh Trade, Contract Options For Star CB Jaire Alexander

The Green Bay Packers face uncertainty regarding the future of star cornerback Jaire Alexander, who has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons and played in only 14 games during that span. Despite his health issues, Alexander is expected to remain on the Packers' 2025 roster for now, where he would be the team's top cornerback unless traded or released. The Packers are negotiating his contract amid concerns about the $24.6 million salary cap hit, with possible solutions including pay cuts or performance bonuses. Trade interest has surfaced, notably from the Los Angeles Chargers, who see Alexander as a potential upgrade in their defensive scheme, while the Seattle Seahawks also consider him a veteran presence to improve their secondary. If the Packers part ways with Alexander, they might target free agent cornerback Dane Jackson from the Buffalo Bills, who offers durability and solid coverage statistics despite a down 2024 season. Overall, Alexander's future with Green Bay remains in flux as both sides seek a resolution before the 2025 season begins.
