With the news that the Green Bay Packers plan to release Jaire Alexander, the premier cornerback will soon be able to sign wherever he likes. And to add insult to injury, there is one landing spot for Alexander that makes a ton of sense—but Packers fans aren’t going to like it.

The Minnesota Vikings already have a pretty strong roster but could use some reinforcements at corner. Byron Murphy Jr. is one of the league’s top slot defenders, but on the outside, Minnesota has question marks with Mekhi Blackmon, Isaiah Rodgers, and Jeff Okudah. A healthy Jaire Alexander could change that dynamic instantly.Not long after the Alexander news broke, Kay Adams discussed the possibility of him signing with Minnesota on her podcast “Up & Adams.”

Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema also named the Vikings as one of their six potential landing spots for Alexander, writing:”This would be a top-tier storyline. Alexander and Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson have been fierce competitors for years, taking the Packers and Vikings’ divisional rivalry to the next level. Alexander has called one of Jefferson’s biggest performances — nine catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers — a “fluke” and has mocked Jefferson’s signature griddy celebration.Alexander would also fit into defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ aggressive approach with his 99th-percentile PFF coverage grade since 2022 and all of his ball production (eight interceptions and 21 pass breakups despite missed time). The Vikings are trying to replace Camryn Bynum, Shaquill Griffin and Stephon Gilmore from last year’s secondary, making Alexander a clear potential fit.”During Alexander’s seven seasons in Green Bay, talent has never been an issue. Injuries and his contract, however, were massive concerns heading into next season. The Packers tried to trade Alexander and restructure his deal during the offseason, but nothing ever materialized.If Alexander signs with the Vikings, it would be a tough pill to swallow for Packers fans—but it wouldn’t be unprecedented. Brett Favre, Greg Jennings, Za’Darius Smith, and most recently, Aaron Jones have all made the leap from Green Bay to Minnesota. Alexander could reunite with Jones, a former fan favorite, who signed with the Vikings last offseason and is preparing to run it back in 2025.Once the release is finalized, Alexander’s agent will be free to negotiate with cornerback-needy teams like the Vikings. Hopefully, that’s not where he ends up for Green Bay’s sake.
