GREEN BAY — Derrick Ansley doesn’t know what will ultimately happen with two-time All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander.

Will there be a reconciliation between Alexander and the Green Bay Packers — and an agreement on an adjusted contract, which surely is a prerequisite to Alexander returning for an eighth season with the team?

Will general manager Brian Gutekunst get an out-of-the-blue trade offer like the one he’s been waiting for since March, when he said at the NFL Meetings that the team has “invested a lot in Jaire and want to make sure — if he’s not going to be on our football team helping us win games — that we get something back for that investment,” in a rare public hypothetical?

Or will the player and organization ultimately end up moving on, with Alexander being released with two years remaining on the four-year, $84 million extension he signed in October 2022, which made him the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback at the time?

Ansley, the Packers defensive passing-game coordinator and the coach who works most closely with the team’s cornerbacks, doesn’t know.

What Ansley does know — and was willing to say publicly on Thursday during a Q&A session with reporters — is that he and Alexander correspond every day, even as Alexander stays away from the team’s offseason workouts while his agent and the organization work toward a resolution for his in-limbo status.

“Every day. Every day we have contact,” said Ansley, now in his second season on defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s staff. “Every morning, I send him a positive quote. Sometimes it’s a scripture. Sometimes it’s just something that somebody sends me and I forward it to him. But we have contact every morning.”

At the same time, Ansley, Hafley and defensive backs coach Ryan Downard are working on alternatives at the position if the Packers and Alexander going their separate ways.

And they believe they have ample options if that happens:

• Possibly elevating Keisean Nixon to CB1 — a job to which Nixon staked his claim immediately after last season. in what seemed to be a sign that Alexander was on his way out);

• Using ex-Las Vegas Raiders nickelback Nate Hobbs in a myriad of ways after signing him to a four-year, $48 million free-agent deal — believing he is versatile enough to play inside and outside;

• Giving 2023 seventh-round pick Carrington Valentine an opportunity to blossom further into being a legit NFL starter — with 22 starts already in his first two seasons, including three in the postseason;

• Giving three potential-filled young players — 2024 seventh-round pick Kalen King, rookie seventh-round pick Micah Robinson and undrafted free agent rookie Johnathan Baldwin — opportunities to crack the rotation.

“We want to try to onboard as many DBs as we can and not try to pigeon hole guys into corner, nickel, or safety,” Ansley said. “Probably the most important thing is the mental makeup. Can they learn two jobs? Do they have the discipline and maturity to do those things?

“When you talk about corner, obviously you want a speed skill set. And inside, you’ve got to be physical enough to be in the run and you’ve also got to be agile enough to cover some of these (receivers) in the division. It’s hard to find guys that can do both. Thank God we got a couple of them.”

Speaking earlier in the week, Hafley declined comment on how much it would mean to his defense to have Alexander back — “Whenever everything pans out and we figure out who’s here,” he said, “we will do the very best we can to put them in great positions” — but raved about Hobbs’ versatility and potential in the system.

“Nate can play outside and Nate can play inside. (And) when you’re getting ready for free agency and you’re evaluating tape, it’s one thing that you love about him,” Hafley said. “He’s had a lot of success inside, and I thought his tape outside was equally as good.

“He is competitive, he’s tough, he is physical, he plays the game fast. (And) you can tell he loves it. It just jumps off the tape, the way the guy plays. He’s been a great addition. And he does give you that versatility where you can move him around. And again, I’m a big fan of that.”

If Alexander does not return — Gutekunst’s last comment on him, following the draft, was that he remained on the Packers’ roster “right now” — he’d join fellow offseason departures Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine and Robert Rochell.

Nixon, who played 1,020 defensive snaps (93.7%) last season, and Valentine, who battled injuries but played 547 snaps (50.3%), would be the only two cornerbacks who played even one snap on defense for the Packers in 2024.

In that way, the cornerback group will have undergone an overhaul similar to what the safety position saw last year, when the team added first-team All-Pro Xavier McKinney in unrestricted free agency and drafted three safeties (Javon Bullard, Evan Williams and Kitan Oladapo).

And with injuries inevitably hitting every secondary across the league, the Packers will need more than the Nixon-Hobbs-Valentine trio in a division loaded with wide receiver talent.

Perhaps that’s why Ansley sounded genuinely excited on Tuesday about his young crew.

• On Valentine, who had a pair of interceptions and forced two fumbles last season: “CV, he’s one of my favorites. He plays the game the right way. He’s smart. He works at it. It means a lot to him. And the next step is just to make routine plays look like routine plays. He’s very strong at the point of attack. He’s got good speed. He’s tough. Just making those routine plays down in and down out, I think he can take a big jump this year.”

• On King, who spent all of last season on the practice squad after falling to the seventh round in the draft: “I don’t want to speak to soon — knock on wood — but he’s looking really, really good out there. He’s playing inside and out. It’s like the light has gone off for him and he looks more springy in his step. He’s changed his body. His mind is at ease. And he’s just jumped into this thing full speed ahead, man. He’s been very impressive. We’ve just got to continue to get that kind of day-to-day performance out of him.”

• On Robinson, who had two interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown, in his one season at Tulane last year after four years at Furman: “There was a skill set there. Obviously, he’s got verified top end speed. What you don’t see is a guy (who’s) hungry to learn. I was in here [Wednesday] with him, about 5:30, and he was in the DB room just writing down every call. So he’s eager to play. (When) a guy comes in here with that kind of mindset and skill set that he has, there’s definitely a lot to work with there.”

• On Baldwin, who played everywhere — but mostly safety — at UNLV and is listed by the Packers as a cornerback after intercepting a career-high three passes last year: “He’s another inside triangle piece. He played a lot of safety, (but) he also came down and moonlighted at nickel. Johnathan is very smart. He works at it. … Very proud of his mental makeup and how he comes about his work every day.”
