Cornerback Jaire Alexander may remain with the Green Bay Packers for the 2025 season despite previous expectations of a departure. A source indicates that a reconciliation is now among the options being considered by both sides.
Reports previously focused on the Packers potentially trading Alexander. However, remaining with the team, a trade, or a release are all possibilities being discussed.
Frustration had surfaced from both Jaire Alexander and the Green Bay Packers organization over his performance in the past two seasons. During this period, Alexander missed games due to injuries and faced a suspension.
Remaining with the team for 2025 will likely depend on a contract restructure. Alexander's current contract carries significant salary figures in the coming years.
The team could gain more than $17 million in salary cap space by cutting or trading Alexander after June 1. This date allows time for discussions before a final decision is necessary.
ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported on Tuesday that the possibility of Alexander staying is being explored.
Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst has stated that he continues weekly discussions with Alexander's representatives.
This development represents a shift from earlier reports suggesting a breakup was anticipated. One reporter indicated just days ago that Alexander would likely not return, while another stated in April the team had decided in February to move on from the corner.
Alexander participated in the Packers' virtual team activities. However, he did not appear in photos from the first day of voluntary in-person workouts. Alexander has a workout bonus structure in his 2025 contract.
