A resolution between the Green Bay Packers<\/a> and cornerback Jaire Alexander on his status for the 2025 season is expected “soon,” according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler<\/a>, who believes a “revised contract” could be the “most sensible” end result for the two parties.<\/p>\n

Fowler said it would take a “unique trade offer” or a “contractual stalemate” for Alexander to depart Green Bay this year.<\/p>\n

From Fowler: “The Packers and Alexander are working on a resolution that should materialize soon. A revised contract for Alexander, due $17.5 million in cash this year, to balance his injury history with his longtime status as an elite corner might be the most sensible play.”<\/p>\n

On the contract front, the Packers could want a revised deal that allows Alexander — who has missed at least 10 games in three of the last four seasons — to earn his full salary if he’s healthy and available in 2025 but protects the team in case the injuries continue.<\/p>\n

The Packers and Alexander looked headed for an offseason divorce, but general manager Brian Gutekunst didn’t trade Alexander before or during the draft and then didn’t take a cornerback — Tulane’s Micah Robinson — until the seventh round.<\/p>\n

According to coach Matt LaFleur, Alexander participated during the virtual start to the offseason program but wasn’t available for in-person activities last week. The two sides are likely protecting against injury until a resolution is reached.<\/p>\n

With Alexander on the team, the Packers could be strong and deep at cornerback, especially considering Keisean Nixon’s improvement as an inside-out option and the addition of Nate Hobbs in free agency, plus the potential progression of recent draft picks such as Carrington Valentine, safety-slot Javon Bullard, Kalen King and Kamal Hadden. The dynamic at cornerback would look much different if Alexander — a true No. 1 corner — doesn’t return.<\/p>\n

Alexander intercepted two passes (returning one for an interception) and broke up five other passes over seven games in 2024. He injured his knee during a late October win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, suffered a setback while trying to return three weeks later in Chciago and then eventually picked season-ending surgery to fix the issue.<\/p>\n

Alexander has two years left on his deal. The Packers could save over $17 million on the 2025 cap if Alexander is released or traded post-June 1st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A resolution between the Green Bay Packers and cornerback Jaire Alexander on his status for the 2025 season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2072],"tags":[1203,247,265,210,2935,2945,12,388,7,27,41,345,2514,2513,2936,379,3421,5390,3420,3787,3031,246,88,6,245,264,428,9,266],"class_list":{"0":"post-32925","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-alexander","9":"tag-american","10":"tag-american-football","11":"tag-bay","12":"tag-brian","13":"tag-brian-gutekunst","14":"tag-espn","15":"tag-espn-inc","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-green","18":"tag-green-bay","19":"tag-green-bay-packers","20":"tag-greenbay","21":"tag-greenbaypackers","22":"tag-gutekunst","23":"tag-inc","24":"tag-jaire","25":"tag-jaire-alexander","26":"tag-lafleur","27":"tag-matt","28":"tag-matt-lafleur","29":"tag-neutral","30":"tag-news","31":"tag-nfl","32":"tag-overall","33":"tag-overall-neutral","34":"tag-packers","35":"tag-sports","36":"tag-sports-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114470604263962915","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
