1 day ago

However it doesnt mean Jaire Alexander wont be missed The first pick made by current general manager Brian Gutekunst back in 2018 Alexander was a big part of the defense for the past seven yearsFirst of all he has been a great player for us Murphy mentioned Obviously elite talent Unfortunately just injured a lot Unfortunately thats a big part of our game The president and CEO named Keisean Nixon as a reason to be more comfortable with the cornerback room After a couple of years being primarily a kick returner and slot cornerback Nixon moved to the boundary in 2024 and played at a solid levelBack in March the Packers also signed free agent Nate Hobbs formerly from the Las Vegas Raiders The other top options include Carrington Valentine in the boundary or secondyear safety Javon Bullard in the slotThe decision to move on from Alexander had obvious financial reasons and implications The cornerback was slated to receive 175 million in 2025 and 195 million in 2026 but none of it was guaranteed Now the Packers are third in the entire NFL in available cap space Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy is in the final weeks on his job After his 70th birthday its part of the Packers model to make a management transition The franchise opted to promote COO Ed Policy and he will take over his new role on July 15
