Packers' Matt LaFleur hopes to finalize reworked deal soon with $84 million injury prone veteran

The Green Bay Packers are aiming for an even better season than last year, when they reached the NFL Playoffs. Their offense is set and looks promising, but the defense raises some concerns—particularly in the cornerback room, with veteran Jaire Alexander at the center of attention. Alexander has battled injuries the last couple of seasons, keeping him off the field often.

Alexander and the Packers are currently working toward a new contract agreement. If a deal isn't reached, Alexander could be placed on the trade block. Both sides are negotiating in hopes of reaching a mutually beneficial resolution.
