In the last four seasons, Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander has missed 34 of 68 games. Alexander has been a locker room cancer. And he’s played mediocre football.
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said his team could afford to keep Jaire Alexander but gave no firm indication of whether or not the Packers will end up retaining the injury-plagued cornerback on the roster for the 2025 season.
Gutekunst signed quarterback Jordan Love to a contract worth $220 million over four years last training camp before Love had an inconsistent season, partly because of his own inaccuracies and sloppy footwork but also because of factors outside his control like injuries and offensive line play.
Jaire Alexander isn’t sure if he’ll be back with the Packers after a frustrating and injury-riddled 2024 season.
While most players were cordial, Jaire Alexander offered a different approach, hinting at his future with the Green Bay Packers
Jaire Alexander's future with the Packers may be up in the air after the cornerback didn't want to talk to the media.
GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers ’ 2024 season ended in the wild-card round of the playoffs Sunday, a 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. As they look ahead to next season, here are four offseason developments to keep an eye on.
The Packers will be without their star cornerback, Jaire Alexander, as he was placed on the IR ahead of the playoffs.
The Packers coach said he plans to meet with Jaire Alexander, Keisean Nixon and the rest of the team in individual meetings as they move on to 2025.
There's a chance Green Bay will part ways with their highest-rated cornerback before Week 1 arrives but the odds favor the Packers sticking with him. One obvious way Jaire Alexander can give his team a big boost in 2025 is finding a way to improve his availability. He only managed to record 361 snaps for coordinator Jeff Hafley's defense in 2024.
Jaire Alexander will miss the next four games, making him available for the Super Bowl if the Packers advance that far.
