Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander has missed several games this season and he will miss another one on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings (7-8) because of a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, according to Yahoo Sports.
One of the reasons why he was suspended was because he was not a team captain for the game against the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday and decided to go out to mid-field for the coin toss. This was an interesting move by Green Bay.
Alexander is 26 years old and would have a cap hit over $24 million next season, according to Spotrac. Green Bay can get out of the contract after next season and if they were not doing that, he won’t be a free agent until after the 2026 season.
Would general manager Brian Gutekunst move off of him this offseason? If the Packers decide to move off of him this offseason, who are some of the NFL teams that can make a call and acquire him?
With this suspension, this will be the 10th game he has missed this season. He has not played two games in a row since 10/29 against the Minnesota Vikings and 11/5 against the Los Angeles Rams. Alexander in six games this season has a total of 26 tackles and one forced fumble. He has no interceptions, but that is probably because other teams don’t want to target him.
