    The Green Bay Packers are facing mounting pressure to make a difficult decision regarding two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander. After injuries limited him to just 14 games over the past two seasons, analysts suggest that releasing Alexander post-June 1 could provide the financial flexibility the team needs to address other roster concerns.

    Cutting Alexander would save the Packers $17 million in immediate cap space, a significant relief for a team looking to strengthen its depth. While the cornerback remains immensely talented, his inability to stay healthy has raised concerns about his long-term value. Green Bay has reportedly considered restructuring his contract, but no agreement has been reached.

    Trade options were explored during the NFL Draft, but the Packers were unable to find a suitable deal for the 28-year-old. With younger players like rookie Micah Robinson and Carrington Valentine ready to step into larger roles, Green Bay may lean toward moving on from Alexander rather than continuing to carry his $24.6 million cap hit. This shift would align with the team’s focus on building a sustainable, younger roster.

    The decision to release Alexander would not come without risk. His playmaking ability, evidenced by two interceptions in just seven games last season, could be a major asset for another team. However, the Packers must weigh his potential contributions against the opportunity to allocate resources elsewhere.

    Green Bay may get to get a solution for Alexander if it gets to cut him. This is detailed more in an analysis by Alex Kay for Bleacher Report.

    While the franchise brass has reportedly put a restructured deal on the table for the 2018 first-round pick, he hasn’t been amenable to it. He still has two years remaining on the then-record four-year, $84 million extension he signed in 2022, a deal agreed to ahead of his second and most recent Pro Bowl campaign.

    Injuries have been the unfortunate story of his career since 2023, though, and he has suited up for just 14 of a possible 34 games in that span.

    Given Alexander also missed 13 games in 2021, it’s time for Green Bay to move on and get a fresh start with younger, healthier backups such as rookie Micah Robinson and Carrington Valentine stepping into bigger roles.

    Green Bay fans are divided on the matter, with some advocating for patience while others endorse a hard reset in the secondary. The organization faces a tough balancing act between honoring Alexander’s past contributions and securing their future.

    As training camp looms, the Packers’ decision on Alexander will have a lasting impact on their defensive identity. Whether they choose to release, trade, or retain him, their approach will signal how they plan to navigate the challenges of the upcoming season.
