In a series of tweets, Landis Alexander, the father of former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, shed some light on why his son eventually ended up parting ways with the Packers. Last week, ahead of minicamp, Green Bay chose to release Alexander after contract negotiations failed to produce a deal that satisfied both sides.
According to the elder Alexander, the cornerback was “very willing to restructure” the deal he had with the Packers, but claims that Green Bay wanted him to play under a contract that featured no guaranteed money. He also said that the offer that the Packers presented Jaire “would have been foolish to take,” and that Alexander “wasn’t willing to play for damn near free.
