Green Bay Packers Release Cornerback Jaire Alexander Amid Contract Dispute

News summary

The Green Bay Packers have officially released longtime star cornerback Jaire Alexander after failing to reach an agreement on a restructured contract for the 2025 season. While reports initially suggested Alexander refused to take a pay cut, his father, Landis Alexander, clarified that Jaire was willing to reduce his salary but unwilling to play for nearly no guaranteed money, which the Packers reportedly insisted upon. The Packers' decision was influenced by Alexander's significant injury history, having missed 20 games over the past two seasons, which raised concerns about paying a high salary for limited availability. General manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledged Alexander's talent but emphasized the financial impracticality of retaining a player missing so many games. Alexander’s father also criticized the Packers’ medical staff, suggesting misdiagnoses affected his son's health and contract negotiations. Despite the release, Alexander's performance when healthy has attracted interest from other teams, indicating he may continue his NFL career elsewhere.
