Jaire Alexander’s Ravens Contract Signals Packers Had Little Interest in Keeping Pro Bowl Corner

Originally posted on WI Sports Heroics | By Matt Lombardo | Last updated Jun 19, 2025 2:31 PM ET

Former Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $6 million with the Baltimore Ravens, which seems to signal that Green Bay had very little interest in retaining the oft-injured Pro Bowl defensive back.

Alexander, 28, has only appeared in 16 or more games once in his career, and one time dating back to the 2020 campaign, and even though the Packers have gone to extreme measures trying to replace him this spring (including lining up wide receiver Bo Melton at cornerback during a minicam practice) Green Bay made little effort to retain him.

According to Alexander’s father, the Packers never even came closs to matching what amounted to be a prove-it deal that the Ravens signed him to.

“They sent a proposal, and it was like a non-proposal. It was structured with roster bonuses and things like that,” Landis Alexander told ESPN Milwaukee. “The structure was more of a problem than the money. To not have any guarantees in there was where we had the issue with. It wasn’t actually the dollar amount, it was no guaranteed money.”

According to the elder Alexander, the Ravens’ offer included more guaranteed money than the Packers included in their proposal before ultimately releasing Alexander just before mandatory minicamp got underway.

The Packers now will look to replace Alexander, who lands in a secondary that has the pieces in place to push for a Super Bowl this season.
