(PACKERS) – The Green Bay Packers released cornerback Jaire Alexander. The move was announced Monday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
“In his seven seasons with the Packers, Jaire established himself as one of the premier players in the NFL at one of the game’s most challenging positions,” said Gutekunst. “His contributions to our organization were felt on the field, in the locker room and in our community, and he will be missed. We appreciate all he gave and we wish him all the best moving forward.”
Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy spoke about Alexander’s release.
He also commented on how the Packers will overcome it.
Alexander, originally a first-round selection (No. 18 overall) by the Packers in the 2018 NFL Draft, played in 78 regular-season games with 76 starts for Green Bay in seven seasons, recording 302 tackles (232 solo), 12 interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 80 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 12 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and two QB hits. He also started six of seven postseason contests he played in and posted three interceptions. Alexander earned second-team All-Pro Honors from The Associated Press twice (2020 and 2022) and was named to two Pro Bowls (2020 and 2022). He was also named to the PFWA’s All-Rookie team in 2018.
