He was released

Not all that surprising. Guessing Jaire wouldn't budge on his contract and the Packers weren't going to commit to the money due, given his injury history and lack of being available.

Another team will excitedly pay him more than he is probably going to be worth.

IF he stays healthy

I think we can safely guess that this statement is why Jaire is no longer a Packer.

It appears that the Packers wanted to keep Jaire in Green Bay, but on a redone deal to reflect the probability of his availability for 2025 and beyond.

I may be going out on a limb, but I think there are several current and former Packers that would have agreed to a new deal, Jaire won't be remembered as one that did.

At least that drama is over.

I know if he stays healthy there will be a lot of gnashing of teeth, but that doesn't mean he would have stayed healthy if with the Packers. He has something to play for now because I assume he will just get a 1 year prove it deal.

Last 2 years have just been odd.

Well no. Since he didn't. His choice to make. I don't hold it against him. It could be a decision Gute comes to regret though.

Agree completely, but I will add I don't think while Gute may hold regret purely from what Jaire is able to do forward, I truly do believe what I have heard is that Gute exhausted every means possible to try and make this work for another year and many within the organization even felt Gute had Jaire proven healthy and capable this year been willing to invest in him again after.

I hope he goes to the AFC and does well expect should we ever play him of course.

Teams still needing CB help that might think about throwing $$ at Alexander might be: Atlanta, Carolina, Cleveland, LARams, Vegas Raiders, Miami or Minnesota. Don't know where any of them seat as far as cap room, but JA will find a new team to risk signing him.

I guess GB decided having that $17M this year to maybe extend some people outweighed having JA back. I could see either way. Let’s see what Gute does with that money.

Those figures have to be us before releasing Jaire.

He'll be all healed and ready to go. Will get a one year somewhere, play like a beat...uninjured...get a big contract and get hurt again. Cynical? Yep.

What is our cap hit on him?

By releasing Alexander after June 1st, the Packers will only be on the hook for keeping his 2025 signing bonus money (just over $7.5 million) as dead money on the 2025 salary cap. The remaining signing bonus money — a shade more than $9.5 million covering both 2026 and the 2027 void year — will hit the cap next year, in 2026.

Concur with these figures.

Agree on everything except "last 2 years". Let's not forget that JA only played in 3.25 games in 2021 due to shoulder issues.

Gute made the right choice based on the existing contract and the past injury history of JA.

Whatever JA does in his career from this point forward, doesn't change my opinion that Gute made the right decision.

Could not agree more.
