The Green Bay Packers have had plenty of drama this offseason, and it has only increased as they head into OTAs. While the entire receiver room prepares for a battle royale, other players have made their demands for new contracts as Green Bay makes its initial preparations for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
While many of the issues from the beginning of the offseason have seemingly been resolved, one still needs a conclusion. The offseason began with Jaire Alexander\u2019s days in Green Bay appearing to be numbered, and many felt like it was a matter of time before the 28-year-old would either be traded or released.<\/p>\n
However, some revealing comments shed light on where the situation is at, and it could mean that a resolution between the two sides is coming soon.<\/p>\n
Alexander has not reported to the Packers\u2019 voluntary workouts, which would raise red flags over his status with the team. While speculation has run wild, passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley sang a different tune, telling ESPN\u2019s Rob Demovsky that he\u2019s been in contact with Alexander every day while skipping the offseason workouts.<\/p>\n It should be noted that this round of workouts are voluntary, and a real resolution on Alexander could come when the Packers hold mandatory minicamp from June 10-12. But the fact that Alexander has been talking to the team while he\u2019s been away could signal that he\u2019s still interested in staying in Green Bay.<\/p>\n Alexander\u2019s situation comes down to availability and money. The 18th overall pick in the 2018 draft is one of the league\u2019s best coverage corners when healthy, but has missed 28 games over the past four seasons while battling several injuries. There have also been rumors that some in Green Bay feel like Alexander has been reluctant to play through injuries and that it\u2019s not worth the $24.6 million cap hit to keep him around.<\/p>\n The situation is different on Alexander\u2019s side. He has no money guaranteed left on the four-year, $84 million extension he signed in 2022, and could want some commitment from Green Bay\u2019s side as he gets closer to his 30s. The Packers could also end the situation at any time by clearing $7.5 million with a trade or release before June 1 or $17.1 million after that date, but they haven\u2019t done so.<\/p>\n Therefore, it creates a path where the two sides reach a compromise on a contract, and Alexander could have a year to build a case for a new contract. It still leaves Alexander\u2019s long-term status in question, but it could at least help the Packers in the short term to add to a secondary led by Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs heading into next season.<\/p>\n The Green Bay Packers have had plenty of drama this offseason, and it has only increased as they head into OTAs.
