Don’t get too hopeful that the Green Bay Packers’ lack of a cornerback addition on Day 1 or 2 of the draft means that All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander will be retained. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, the draft has not changed the Packers’ decision on Alexander, a player they’re hoping to unload in a trade and will be cutting if they can’t find a trade partner.
A source familiar with the dealings between the Packers and Alexander said the Packers still were in the market to trade him and were waiting to see if a team might have interest after the draft.
