Why $700,000 wasn't enough to get Jaire Alexander to Packers' OTAs

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jaire Alexander has always approached things a little differently, and that now includes walking away from $700,000 he could have collected for participating in the Green Bay Packers' offseason program.

That wasn’t enough to entice the reigning second-team All-Pro cornerback to attend anything other than this week’s mandatory minicamp.

How much would it have taken to get Alexander to come?

“Man, to come to [the whole] offseason?” he said. “I'd probably say about, I would've definitely been here for 10.”

$10 million?

“Yeah,” he confirmed.

Don’t mistake that as indifference.
