GREEN BAY, Wis. – All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander will be at next week’s mandatory minicamp after skipping the first two weeks of the voluntary organized team activities.
Alexander, the team’s first-round pick in 2018, is entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal. That has a base salary of $2.123 million, making him greatly underpaid considering his rise to one of the premier cornerbacks in the NFL. In 2022, he’s scheduled to play under the fifth-year team option of $13.294 million. Both seasons’ base salaries are fully guaranteed.
Presumably, the Packers would like to work out a long-term extension with Alexander to not only ensure he remains with the team for several years but reduce his 2022 cap number.
