Green Bay Packers Cornerback Jaire Alexander Faces Uncertain Future After Suspension: Trade Talks and Potential Suitors
He was suspended for joining the coin toss at midfield in a game where he wasn’t captain. Alexander, 26, has only played six games this season due to injury, recording 26 tackles and one forced fumble.
Alexander’s Packers future is unknown owing to finances, despite his value. An anticipated cap hit of nearly $24 million next season could lead the organization to move. The Packers must decide whether to take on Alexander’s high cap hit or trade him.
The struggling Philadelphia Eagles secondary might be a trade destination. Alexander may improve the Eagles’ cornerbacks, and general manager Howie Roseman is known for savvy offseason moves. The Green Bay Packers may consider a trade to Philadelphia for a second or third-round pick.

Rams and Texans Emerge as Interested Suitors
The Los Angeles Rams, known for trading draft assets for impact players, may also be interested. The Rams may use Alexander to enhance their secondary with a young defense. After trading Jalen Ramsey, the Rams may want Alexander as a cornerback.
DeMeco Ryans’ Houston Texans are a playoff contender. To strengthen their defense, the Texans may trade for Alexander with draft assets from the Deshaun Watson trade. Texans’ aim to develop a competitive team for the future makes them an intriguing Packers trade partner.
