Jaire Alexander’s time in Green Bay may be nearing its end. Just a day after Valentine’s Day, reports surfaced that the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback is most likely finished wearing green and yellow on game day, signaling a conceivable separation brewing over the past two seasons.
Alexander, drafted No. 18 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, has been a cornerstone of Green Bay’s defense when functional. Injuries have haunted his availability to take the field, restricting him to just 14 games played over the last two seasons.
Alexander’s relationship with the team seems to have fizzled with upper management, with outspoken Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst candidly admitting his true feelings over the star cornerback’s inability to stay on the field.”I know it’s been really, really frustrating for not only him as a player but us as a club,” Gutekunst said.When you have a player who’s done what he’s done for us in the past, and then not being able to get him out on the field consistently, that’s tough,” he continued. “You know it’s tough on the player, tough on the organization.”
