The Green Bay Packers' long-term decision regarding the future of Jaire Alexander is expected to revolve around the $8 million roster bonus owed to the star cornerback on March 20, league sources told ESPN.
The Packers suspended Alexander -- the NFL's highest-paid cornerback -- one game for conduct detrimental to the team after he appointed himself a captain for last Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers and participated in the coin flip.
Alexander will miss Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings but is expected to return for Green Bay's regular-season finale next weekend against the Chicago Bears.
