Jaire Alexander was released by the Green Bay Packers in a semi surprising move, given that reports had surfaced that the two parties were continuing to talk about a contract resolution.
And after the release, Packers team President, Mark Murphy shared some insight into what happened with Alexander and ā ultimately ā why the Packers decided to let him go.

When asked about what went into the decision to cut the 2 x All-Pro Murphy spoke about as respectfully but candidly as one could hope for.
āWell, first of all, heās been a great player for us. Heās an elite talent. Unfortunately just injured a lot. Unfortunately thatās a big part of our game.ā
Murphy did not flinch when he was subsequently asked about the teamās ability to āabsorbā the hit of losing of the quality of Jaire Alexander.
āI feel pretty goodā, the outgoing team president said on Monday, āI think Keisean Nixon ā what a great story, undrafted [to] All-Pro returner. And the reality is for the past four years, Jaireās been hurt for about half the games heās been able to play. So weāve been used to it.ā
Packers āUsedā To Being Without Jaire Alexander ā MurphyAlthough he is not quite the player Packers fans were once used to seeing week in, week out at Lambeau, Alexander is still a high-level corner in the game. His man-to-man coverage skills are no longer what they were in the midst of his prime, especially given his extensive injury history over the past four years.
But he is still a starting corner in the NFL, without question.
And yet, the Packers have, to an extent, gotten used to being without him. Green Bay had the 8th ranked passing defense in 2024, despite Alexander being limited to just seven games with the team.
Do The Packers Need To Add Another Veteran Before Training Camp?2023 seventh round pick, Carrington Valentine, showed an ability to pick up the slack and play good football on the perimeter. He now provides good quality cover for former Las Vegas Raider and March free agent addition, Nate Hobbs, who figures to move to the outside opposite Keisean Nixon.
The main worry comes from whether Hobbs will once again struggle on the perimeter, like he did in 2022 ā his sole season where the majority of his snaps came away from the slot.
If Hobbs can excel on the perimeter with Nixon; who already showed CB1 capabilities in 2024, garnering an All-Pro vote at the position for his work; the secondary could prove to be an area of strength.
However, if injuries or form set things awry, things could get ugly, with the only cover behind Valentine being former seventh round picks, Kalen King and Micah Robinson.
So the Packers could turn to a name like Rasul Douglas as cornerback insurance. Or, as they often do, they may choose to stick to the players they have and develop their young backups.
