The top offseason storyline for the Packers remains the future of Jaire Alexander. The high-priced corner is still in the organization at this point, although he was absent from Green Bay’s voluntary workouts this week. 
Participation on that front should not be expected as things stand. The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson reports Alexander and the Packers have an agreement in place where he will not report to the team until a resolution on his situation is found. That update comes as little surprise given the extent to which the two-time Pro Bowler’s future remains in the air. Anderson confirms all options are still on the table in this situation.
One of those would see Alexander remain in Green Bay for the 2025 campaign, something which did not appear likely in February. Green Bay shopped the 28-year-old in advance of free agency, but no agreement was reached around that time or during the draft. Teams around the league have done most of the heavy lifting from a roster-building perspective by now, but Alexander is among the high-profile players still available deep into the offseason.
Per Anderson, Green Bay has conducted “exploratory” trade talks involving the Louisville product. No specific suitors have emerged to date, but she adds a pair of teams have kept tabs on this situation for a lengthy period of time. If a trade is to take place, an acquiring team will need to take on the two years remaining on Alexander’s contract (which does not include any outstanding guaranteed salaries).
With Alexander set to carry cap charges of $24.64MM and $27.02MM, a restructure could be in order to facilitate a trade. The former first-rounder’s preference, however, would be a release allowing him to join a new team as a free agent. Green Bay would need to wait until after June 1 until proceeding with a cut if the team were to take that approach given the cap implications of doing so. As a result, this saga could continue for several weeks (with mandatory minicamp looming later in June).
Jalen Ramsey joins Alexander as a veteran corner available on the trade market. The latter’s injury history – single-digit games played in three of the past four years – will no doubt hinder his market to at least an extent, but interest persists at this point.
