Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said his team could afford to keep Jaire Alexander but gave no firm indication of whether or not the Packers will end up retaining the injury-plagued cornerback on the roster for the 2025 season.

Gutekunst signed quarterback Jordan Love to a contract worth $220 million over four years last training camp before Love had an inconsistent season, partly because of his own inaccuracies and sloppy footwork but also because of factors outside his control like injuries and offensive line play.

In the last four seasons, Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander has missed 34 of 68 games. Alexander has been a locker room cancer. And he’s played mediocre football.

Although Alexander expects to be 100 percent healed by Training Camp, Gutekunst hints the cornerback's time in Green Bay is coming to an end. The post Packers’ GM Admits Mutual Frustration with $84 Million Player appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Green Bay Packers have a tough decision to make with cornerback Jaire Alexander. He missed basically half the games over the last four years with multiple injuries, and 2024 was an especially tough year with 10 missed games because of groin and knee injuries.

One of the biggest questions the Green Bay Packers will have to answer this offseason is what to do with veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander. Alexander was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury ahead of Green Bay’s Week 18 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
