Green Bay Packers star cornerback Jaire Alexander's injury issues come with a silver lining. The two-time All-Pro is two years through a four-year, $84 million contract extension that was restructured in 2023. Despite the restructure, the Packers have not gotten much production out of Alexander during this extension due to health issues. The 28-year-old has only played 14 games in the past two years and could be on the trading block this offseason.
However, Alexander's injuries have given Green Bay more cap flexibility over the past two seasons. According to Packers salary cap specialist Ken Ingals, the franchise has an insurance cap benefit of $1,074,702 due to the cornerback's unavailability.
