Weekend Open Thread: How do you feel about the Jaire Alexander ordeal?

Related Topics: Jaire Alexander, Shaun Alexander

Let’s finally put this to rest (at least until Week 17). Fire off your final thoughts about everything that’s happened with the Green Bay Packers and Jaire Alexander over the past couple of months.

To recap:

Alexander was held onto until the start of minicamp, when he and his non-guaranteed $17.5 million cash commitment in 2025 were let go by the Packers. Green Bay reworked a new one-year contract with Alexander so they could assume all of his dead cap this year, rather than split it between the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Ultimately, the scheduling of the cap accounting doesn’t matter much, as unused cap space in 2025 would have rolled over in 2026, aside from limiting the Packers’ cap flexibility this season.
