Report: Packers CB Jaire Alexander not close to being dealt

It’s becoming clear that cornerback Jaire Alexander won’t be on the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 season.But whether Alexander is traded or released is still in question.The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday that Alexander isn’t close to being dealt, although Green Bay nearly traded the seven-year veteran at the start of the league year.However, there were two problems with the trade. First, the Packers were asking too much in return. Second, Alexander wasn’t willing to take a cut in salary.Alexander has two years left on the four-year extension he signed in 2022. His base salary for 2025 is $16.15 million, and in 2026 it’s $18.15 million.
