Report: CB Jaire Alexander might stick with Packers

After it appeared for months that the Green Bay Packers would trade or release cornerback Jaire Alexander, ESPN reported on Tuesday that while those options still remain, the team might also keep the two-time All-Pro.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said after last weekend's draft, which saw the team select Tulane cornerback Micah Robinson in the seventh round, that Alexander's status remains fluid.

"We'll work through that as we go," Gutekunst said. "But no updates there, and he is on our roster right now and that's how we'll proceed. But we'll figure that out as we go along."

Gutekunst was non-committal over whether Alexander will be in a Packers uniform this fall.

"No, I'm just saying nothing's changed," Gutekunst said. "No updates. We'll proceed as we go for right now, and we'll see how it goes."

Alexander has two years left on the four-year extension he signed in 2022. His base salary for 2025 is $16.15M, and in 2026, it's $18.15M.

If Green Bay cuts or trades Alexander with a post-June 1 designation it would cost more than $7.5M in dead money, but with around $17.1M in cap savings, according to Over The Cap. A pre-June 1 cut or trade would mean more than $17M in dead money and roughly $7.6M in savings.

Alexander was a second-team All-Pro and made the Pro Bowl in both 2020 and 2022 but injuries have forced him to miss most of three of the previous four seasons. He appeared in only four games in 2021 and seven in both 2023 and 2024.

The 18th overall pick by the Packers in 2018, Alexander has 12 career interceptions with a high of five in 2022. He also has three picks in seven playoff appearances.
