The Green Bay Packers are reportedly planning to release veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander, attempting a preemptive trade to avoid him hitting free agency. Alexander's high salary ($16.15M in 2025, $18.15M in 2026) could complicate a trade, as could his potential unwillingness to join a new team. The Packers aim to finalize a trade before the 4:00 PM ET deadline to prevent him from signing with a division rival.
