RT @Nate_Tice: Alexander played 30/51 regular season games after signing his extension in 2022. David Bakhtiari played 13/51 regular seaso…

Decent chance the Packers still get better CB play in 2025 overall. Nixon, Valentine, Bullard could all feasibly take a step. GB has often got their FA additions right in a big way, Hobbs could be the next one. It’s all “what ifs” though and fans will reasonably be uneasy.

I wonder if the Packers put the news out today that Alexander’s being released as a last ditch attempt to get someone to give them something, anything for him before they actually release him and he’s anyone’s to sign.

I think the ultimate decision to release Ja means Bullard is still very much factoring in to the slot corner conversation. If he was set to play full time safety, the Packers would only have Hobbs, Nixon and Valentine they can rely on to any reasonable extent at corner.

The crux of the issue according to Tom 👇🏻

Can confirm @RapSheet report that the #Packers are releasing CB Jaire Alexander today. They never got close an agreement and were stuck in limbo with no solution. The team wasn’t going to pay him full salary and he knew he’d make more on the open market than what GB would offer.

Please don’t sign in the NFC North Jaire

I have to take the L on this one in terms of I thought there was very little chance the Packers wouldn’t get *something* for him. They clearly waited it out as long as they could but mandatory mini camp starting this week was seemingly the deadline.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet

The #Packers and Jaire Alexander agreed to explore a potential trade this spring, while a restructured contract was also discussed. In the end, Green Bay and Alexander move on with a clean break.

Waiting for all the other Packers content creators to wake up and see the news lol

Woah. Seemed like a resolution was the more likely and best outcome for all involved so it’s a bit surprising at this point although it probably shouldn’t be. Disappointed personally.

The #Packers are releasing star CB Jaire Alexander today, sources say. https://t.co/62YSryGYE4

I remember being devastated they ended up losing this one at the buzzer, felt like it would’ve been a huge one to steal in terms of still making the playoffs.

Throwback to Brett Hundley’s masterclass performance starting in place of an injured Aaron Rodgers against the Steelers in 2017. Such a fun game to watch. https://t.co/s4rGY4xKWb

RT @AndyHermanNFL: Wow, Steelers don't even have a single 1st round receiver for Rodgers to throw to. Should probably make a huge national…

Back to back starts that look like this now? Yikes

There it is. Packers-Steelers is gonna be FUN

Renegade A-Rod: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers informed the #Steelers he’ll fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before next week’s minicamp, sources tell The Insiders. Finally, a done deal: Rodgers, 41, will play his 21st NFL season in black and gold. https://t.co/zuDXWrSDG0

Just seeing this, like with Clark’s injury it adds important context to LVN’s season, especially the first half. I wrote recently about the fact he was the team’s most improved player in the 2nd half according to PFF. Could’ve had a much better year overall if he was healthy.

Ryan Wood @ByRyanWood

Lukas Van Ness played with cast protecting broken thumb on right hand until Week 10 last year. Even after cast was removed, Van Ness said there was “mental block” learning how to use hands again. How much did injury affect him? “Playing defensive line, it’s all with your hands” https://t.co/7lCEe7HOEN

It *may* be bad news for Wooden: Could be: hasn’t worked out in original role so last attempt to get something out of him? Or: GB needs the last 1/2 guys on the depth chart to be able to play nose so have told him to learn it to give him a fighting chance vs Brinson/Stackhouse?

Interesting nugget from Kenny Clark’s media session: Colby Wooden has been learning to play nose tackle. Pretty surprising for a guy who was drafted at 273 lbs and put on weight last offseason to get to 290. Would be quite another jump to get to nose tackle weight from there.
