Jaire Alexander

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said there is no disconnect between the team and cornerback Jaire Alexander.

The Packers and Alexander could be heading for a split after Gutekunst acknowledged that “there’s frustration from both sides that he can’t (get on the field).” Despite the frustrations, Gutekunst said Alexander’s contract won’t prohibit the veteran corner from returning, but it is worth pointing out that the Packers could save $17 million against the cap if they released Alexanders with a post-June 1 designation. Alexander was limited to just seven games this season and will turn 28 next month. This isn’t the last we’ll hear of this situation, but Gutekunst appears to be downplaying any issues for the time being.
