With Jaire Alexander Release, Packers Bet Season on Remaining Cornerbacks

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have plenty of experience playing without Jaire Alexander. Now, they’ll have to do it without him for the entire season.

The Packers have finally decided to part ways with Alexander. Along with Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine and Robert Rochell, he is the fourth cornerback to not be retained by the team this offseason.

While Green Bay signed cornerback Nate Hobbs in free agency, there is kiddie-pool depth.

Without Alexander at organized team activities, the Packers lined up with Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine as their perimeter cornerbacks and with Hobbs in the slot.
