Throughout the course of the 2025 NFL offseason, it has been widely expected that the Green Bay Packers will move on from star cornerback Jaire Alexander.

Despite the fact that Alexander is still one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL when he’s healthy, the fact of the matter is that he has been unable to stay on the field over the past two years.

In each of the last two seasons, he has played in just seven games apiece.

Looking back at the 2024 NFL season, Alexander put up great production in the seven games he played.

He recorded 16 total tackles to go along with a fumble recovery, two interceptions, a defensive touchdown, and seven defended passes.

While the Packers could move on from Alexander and save some cap space, they should keep him around for one more season and try to make a huge run at a Super Bowl.

Green Bay Packers Should Make One Final Run with Jaire Alexander

Finding a cornerback who can make the same kind of impact that Alexander makes would be a difficult thing to do.

Green Bay signed Nate Hobbs in NFL free agency, but he’s not going to be able to play the same role that Alexander plays when he’s on the field.

In the NFC North, the Packers go up against some elite offensive units. Having a talent like Alexander helps them defend against wide receivers like Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and even Rome Odunze who is an up-and-coming talent.

Throughout his career in Green Bay, Alexander has recorded a total of 12 interceptions and 70 defended passes. He is one of the stickiest defensive backs in coverage in the entire NFL.

All of that being said, it’s still more likely than not that the Packers will part ways with Alexander. However, keeping him around and letting him play out one more season would be a wise choice.

At the very worst, things don’t work and Alexander walks next offseason.

If things do work out, he would get back to being an elite coverage corner and would help take the Green Bay defense to another level from the improved version it was last year under first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
