Packers Evaluate Future with Cornerback Jaire Alexander

The Green Bay Packers are keeping all options open regarding cornerback Jaire Alexander, including a potential return, trade, or release, despite earlier indications he would likely leave the team. Both Alexander and the Packers have expressed frustration over his injury-plagued recent seasons, but ongoing conversations have left the door open for reconciliation. The team did not use a premium draft pick to address the cornerback position, signaling that Alexander could still play a role if he stays. Financial considerations are central, with significant cap savings possible if Alexander is cut or traded after June 1, and a renegotiated contract or pay cut could be part of a resolution. General manager Brian Gutekunst has emphasized the desire to obtain compensation if Alexander departs, but is also proceeding with caution and flexibility as discussions continue. Team leaders, including quarterback Jordan Love, have publicly supported Alexander's value to the roster.
