Green Bay Packers‘ oft-injured cornerback Jaire Alexander is expected to be released today.
The Jaire Alexander Experience is over in Green Bay.
The Packers’ gifted, quirky and oft-injured cornerback will be released today according to the NFL Network. Green Bay’s mandatory minicamp runs June 10-12, and Alexander was expected to attend.
In the last four seasons, Alexander — a first round draft pick in 2018 — missed 34 of a potential 68 games. He also couldn’t finish four of the games he played in after sustaining injuries.
Alexander was also suspended for one game after appointing himself a captain for a 2023 game at Carolina — a contest in which he bungled the coin toss call in a move that nearly cost the Packers a possession.
The Packers and Alexander’s camp discussed restructuring a contract that would have paid him $17.5 million this season. When the two sides couldn’t find middle ground, though, the Packers decided to release Alexander.
“We’re working together on finding the best solution for everybody,” Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said in March.
