Xavier McKinney says he talks to Jaire Alexander every day and “we all want him back.” He has become close friends with him off the field so ultimately wants what’s best for him.
So the Packers are really considering releasing Jaire Alexander, who is shutdown when healthy and had 2 interceptions in 7 games, while simultaneously signing Nate Hobbs, who only played 11 games last season and has never had more than 1 interception in a single season🤔
Chances of hitting on a CB like Jaire Alexander in the draft are SLIM
Packers drafted Kevin King, Quentin Rollins, Josh Jackson, and Eric Stokes in the first two rounds too and those players are all lacking, despite showing promise and attributes
Ja is THE DUDE!
An actual shutdown corner when on.
Contract year, roll the dice🎲
Packers still have Nixon, Valentine, and can fill in a supporting cast. Perhaps Ja’s dis-engagement from the team has been because he’s now a veteran and through experience has witnessed a drop off in roster talent
He balled when Xavier McKinney came to town before getting injured. Bring in another BIG free agent or 2 and Green Bay can WIN NOW!
5 moves to bring the Packers closer to a Super Bowl
1. Sign Zack Baun in Free Agency
2. Trade a 2nd round pick for DK Metcalf
3. Trade a 3rd round pick for Deebo Samuel
4. Hire JJ Watt to coach the defensive line
5. Draft Mike Green (OLB) or best CB available in the 1st round
