The Green Bay Packers made a huge move on Monday, locking up star cornerback Jaire Alexander to the biggest deal in history (by average annual value) for a player at his position. Alexander’s star has been burning brightly for some time now, and he’s every bit deserving of the deal that he just received.
For the Packers, the move frees up a valuable $6.2 million in salary cap space for this season, giving the team some additional buffer room to make a move if they deem it necessary. Could a move like that have a similar impact to the addition of De’Vondre Campbell last season?
