The Packers released cornerback Jaire Alexander earlier this week. It was presumed the team would spread out his dead cap hit over the next two seasons since he was a post-June 1 cut. But Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.

When healthy, Jaire Alexander is one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL. The eighth-year pro has been named to a pair of Pro Bowls, and last year the 28-year-old allowed a passer rating against of less than 90 for the fifth time in seven years.

Cornerback Jaire Alexander turned down a restructured deal before the Green Bay Packers decided to release him, according to reporting from Albert Breer of MMQB.com. This aligns with previous reporting on the two sides attempting to find a solution financially.
