The Cleveland Browns seemingly reset the cornerback market following their contract extension with Denzel Ward yesterday. The 5-year extension is reportedly worth $100.5 million for the 24-year-old first-round pick. Is now the time for the Green Bay Packers to extend Jaire Alexander as well?
The Packers drafted Alexander out of Louisville with the number 18 overall pick in the 2018 draft. Since that time, he has quickly risen to among the best cornerbacks in the game today. Showing impressive play throughout his rookie and sophomore seasons, Alexander broke out in a big way in 2020.
In 2020, the Louisville product earned a Pro-Bowl selection, as well as second team All-Pro honors.
