He wasn\u2019t willing to play for (darn) near free is a better quote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Athletic\u2019s Matt Schneidman reported prior to Alexander\u2019s release that the Packers had offered to rework his contract. Alexander, 28, who was due a base salary of $16.15 million, seemingly declined.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate post, Earl Landis Alexander said the Packers\u2019 restructured offer would have been \u201cfoolish to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing,\u201d he said, \u201cthat was slightly off is that there was an unwillingness to rework a contract. \u2026 The unwillingness was on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Packers Tried to Trade Star Cornerback<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bleachernation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/wilson-1.jpg\" alt=\"Green Bay Packers Outgoing Free Agents and Cut Candidates: What's Next For Jaire  Alexander?\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Injuries derailed Alexander\u2019s last two seasons in Green Bay. Back and shoulder issues marred 2023, and a knee injury derailed much of 2024. Between the two seasons, he played just 14 games.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that, he\u2019d performed as one of the league\u2019s best young cornerbacks. In 2022, upon signing a lucrative four-year, $84 million contract, Alexander played all 16 games, recording a career-high five interceptions en route to All-Pro honors.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer, the Packers offered Alexander a reduced one-year, incentive laden deal earlier this offseason that would have made him a free agent following 2026. The Packers, Breer said, tried to trade Alexander in March and again during April\u2019s draft after their original offers were rebuffed.<\/p>\n<p>The exact numbers of the Packers\u2019 offer have not been reported.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Could Jaire Alexander Play Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Speculation about Alexander\u2019s next move has been rampant.<\/p>\n<p>The Buffalo Bills, who briefly discussed Alexander in trade talks, have been seen as a logical suitor in NFL circles.<\/p>\n<p>But the Bills also have already invested heavily into their secondary this offseason, including using a first-round pick on Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston, and have very limited salary cap space.<\/p>\n<p>Another rumored destination? The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who certainly haven\u2019t been shy about taking big swings under executive vice president\/general manager Howie Roseman. Alexander is also notably from Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, only time will tell where Alexander lands next.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaire Alexander&#8217;s father has fired back at claims the former Green Bay Packers&#8217; star cornerback was unwilling to renogiate his contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
