Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander will have an expanded role next season, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
“With Ja, he’s going to go where some of the receivers are going to go and he’s going to follow those guys in different packages. He can do everything,” Gutekunst said at the NFL owners meeting on Monday. “That’s a nice luxury for us to have.”
The Packers recently lost their starting nickel Chandon Sullivan, who signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings. Sullivan was the team’s primary slot corner the past two seasons.
