The Green Bay Packers‘ approach to All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander’s current situation appears to be one of cautious deliberation.

Trade rumors have been swirling around Alexander since the 2024 season, and they’re still not calming down. At the NFL’s annual owners meetings on April 1, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said the team is “still working through” Alexander’s future.

Gutey also indicated a desire to resolve Alexander’s status before the NFL Draft, which kicks off on April 24. “I think that would be nice (to resolve it by the draft), but I don’t think you could say that for sure. That would be helpful,” he added.

At this point, a trade feels imminent.

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report named the Packers as a team that “should” pursue a trade for disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson — and he came up with a trade proposal that would send Alexander to Cincy as part of the deal.
