The Jaire Alexander saga has been the defining storyline of the Green Bay Packers’ offseason. Alexander is one of the league’s top cornerbacks but has missed 34 of the Packers’ last 68 games. He carries a $24.6 million cap charge in 2025 and $27.0 million in 2026.
The Packers have internally expressed frustration with Alexander’s inability to stay on the field. Moreover, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed that the Packers had engaged in trade talks involving the star cornerback. However, General Manager Brian Gutekunst suggested Alexander “certainly could be” part of the team in 2025.
