Packers ‘better’ without Jaire Alexander, GM explains

The Green Bay Packers are moving on from cornerback Jaire Alexander. Alexander was signed by the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday after beginning his star-studded career with the Packers. General manager Brian Gutekunst gave his thoughts on the departure.

“I think it comes down to that, whether he can stay on the field,” Gutekunst said to Aaron Nagler. “That was always the thing over the past four years, really, for us was his ability to be out there. Bringing in Nate Hobbs and Keisean (Nixon) stepping up like he did, and Carrington (Valentine) going (into the lineup), I think that’s what allows us to be a better football team than we were last year, just those guys having more experience.
