In 2022, cornerback Jaire Alexander of the Green Bay Packers received a four-year contract extension, making him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history. He immediately made it worthwhile with an All-Pro campaign. But by 2023, things were becoming more hazy.
Alexander appeared in just seven games during the regular season and the two postseason games due to multiple injuries (ankle, shoulder, and back) and a team-imposed ban for actions that were harmful to the Packers. Alexander concluded his odd season with a mysterious Instagram post.
It’s hard to say with certainty what it meant. It might have been merely a post to cap up the season, or it might be an indication of wanting to move on. In any case, Alexander and the Packers’ relationship appears to be in much better shape.
