Packers releasing two-time Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander after contract dispute
NY Post
The Green Bay Packers are releasing two-time Pro Bowler and two-time second-team All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander, according to reports Monday morning.
The 28-year-old has played a combined 14 games across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, as he has struggled with injuries.
This past season, he did not play any time after Nov. 17 and eventually was placed on injured reserve and underwent knee surgery. In 2023-24, he suffered shoulder and knee injuries and also faced a one-game suspension for detrimental conduct to the team.
Alexander signed a four-year, $22 million contract extension in 2022. He and Green Bay explored trade options this offseason before he was then asked to restructure his contract and take a pay cut ahead of the upcoming season.
Alexander seemingly did not want to restructure his deal, and now came the decision to cut ties.
Before his injuries, Alexander had been one of the league’s premier defensive backs since he joined the Packers as a first-round pick in 2018.
It is not about any one thing.
