GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have engaged in trade conversations focused on Jaire Alexander, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday from the Scouting Combine.
While general manager Brian Gutekunst told local reporters on Tuesday that Alexander “certainly could be” part of the team in 2025, the news is anything but a surprise as a split between the Packers and the former All-Pro cornerback has seemed obvious for at least a couple months.
After missing most of the 2021 season with a shoulder injury, Alexander signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension in 2022 that made him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history in terms of average salary.
