The Green Bay Packers are set to release two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander after failing to renegotiate his contract. The decision comes after both sides expressed dissatisfaction over Alexander's recent struggles, including significant injuries and a suspension that kept him off the field. Selected in the first round of the 2018 draft, Alexander was once the highest-paid cornerback with a four-year, $84 million deal but now ends his time in Green Bay having made 12 interceptions across seven seasons.
Both Alexander and the Packers had expressed frustration over his past two seasons, during which he missed games because of injuries and a suspension.
The sides had attempted to come to a revised contract but couldn't reach a deal, the source said, leading to the Packers' decision to move on from Alexander before minicamp.
