Green Bay Packers issued two-time all-pro cornerback jeer Alexander.
The 28-year-old Alexander left the team’s in-tradition, voluntary workouts in the offsen, but was expected to be in the mandatory minicamp starting on Tuesday. That is, until Packers chose the option to let him go.
“In his seven sessions with packers, Jare established himself as one of the most challenging players in NFL in NFL,” General Manager Brian Gutecunst said in a statement on Monday. “His contribution to our organization was felt on the field, locker room and our community, and he will miss. We appreciate all and we wish him to move forward.”
A controversial relationship between the two parties continued this offsen, the packers demanded restructuring their contracts amid frustration on lack of availability; Alexander appeared in just 14 matches in the last two sessions.
In the last season, he did not play after the week 11, saying that he was injured, although he participated in some practices. In 2023, shoulder and knee injuries-a team with suspension limited its availability.
The team tried to trade this offense without any benefit.
Gutekunst earlier this offsen said, “We have invested a lot in Zayer and want to ensure that if it is not going to happen in our football team, it helps us win the game, that we get some back for that investment,” Gutekunst said the first this offsen. “So we will see where it goes, but again, working with (Alexander’s agent) weekly and is trying to find out what is the best for both Zaar and Packers.”
The team selected Alexander in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. He has two years left at a four -year expansion signed in 2022, with a base salary of $ 16.15 million in 2025 and $ 18.15 million in 2026.
Releasing it after June 1 will cost the packers more than $ 7.5 million in the dead money for the upcoming season, according to the over the cap, but also comes with about $ 17.1 million in the cap saving. In 2026, packers will take a hit of $ 9.5 million to dead money – but add a $ 17.5 million room below the cap.
Both Alexander 2020 and 2022 had a second team All-Pr and a Pro Bowl selection. In seven sessions, he appeared in 78 Games (76 beginnings).
He has 12 career interception with five out of five in 2022. He also recorded three pics in seven playoffs.
