From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
My prediction prior to last season regarding Jaire was horribly wrong. There was a point I thought he could be the next Deion Sanders. Disappointingly, he has become exactly the kind of player I despise the most. Supremely talented but soft and perpetually hampered by injury. We need to cut ties. I was wrong.
are you referring to prime Neon Deon Sanders the player, or the Deon that told Jerry Jones 20 million was not enough 25 years ago I say that because the sticking issue right now with all this hohum over Jaire could be contract demands, Guty might want to add a year minus a bump in dollars because Jaire has proven to be a part time player, or Jaire even wants to renegotiate for more, hard to tell with prima donna's
players can be disgruntled about any number of things, don't like scheme, possibly coaches, whatever, usually it's never so bad a simple 1 on 1 can't remedy, fans are usually left in the dark, GM's like to keep everything in the house, no dirty laundering, players that do get rasul Douglased and never ever mentioned again
Starting to think 2 years for 36.6 isn’t a bad deal for hanging onto Jaire.
Perhaps other teams thinking the same now about trading for him.
Yeah. The conversation was never about saving money to cut Jaire. The conversation was always:
1. Do you want to take the risk of Jaire's availability
2. Most importantly, is Jaire "IN" as a Green Bay Packer?
If Jaire is "in" as a Packer than there is no question. You hang onto Jaire Alexander. He is just too valuable to have vs the Justin Jeffersons, St Browns, Smiths and DJ Moores of the world.
Certainly a better answer than anything else we have on the roster.
I think Jaire had a freak injury in Jacksonville and tried to avoid surgery with other methods. Then came back too soon and couldn't recover. I'm not buying the "soft" label just yet. He congrats Hobbs so maybe he's still in on this team. I'm guessing Gutey is trying to renegotiate him to a prove it contract where the incentives make him a lot of money and we get an out after the season if he can't stay healthy again.

I too am hoping on the freak injury thing and poor handling of it by both parties.
I do recognize Jaire has been injured often since hurting his shoulder back in 2020 and I also recognize he isn't the All Pro since that injury but he is still a red chip CB when he gets going.
I don't believe the Packers are trying to do any sort of contract renegotiation. I don't think it makes sense for either side to renogitate the contract if both parties want to stay with each other.
I think it's a simple equation of the Packers being upset that Jaw hasn't played much the last two years and Jaw being upset because he hasn't played much the last two years. There is an easy solution to all of this....Jaire stays healthy.
Despite the lack of movement, the divorce between player and team is likely a matter of when, not if. Not only did the Packers sign cornerback Nate Hobbs in free agency, but Demovsky reports the Packers have not approached Alexander about a pay cut and Alexander wouldn't accept one if offered.
Alexander, a two-time All-Pro who has missed at least 10 games in three of the last four seasons, is due $16.15 million in base salary in 2025. He has no more guaranteed money left in his deal, so the Packers can wait as long as it takes to find a trade partner, or simply release him if a trade isn't possible.
Listened to Silversteins podcast today on my way home from work. He’s basically reporting everything all the big beat writers are. No shot Alexander is back. The Packers are just holding onto him for an offer.
Sounded like no one has made an offer and that’s because of the contract. No one wants Jaire at that price point even for a day 3 pick.
If it’s me, paying a CB $16.15M with a legit potential shot at getting elite play is an easy decision. Sure, there’s injury risk but the potential reward is worth it, especially when they’re not up hard against the cap.

At this juncture there ain't no effen freakin way Gutenscheissenbumpst will make it into the Packers Hall of Fame. He's been a partial train wreck. Maybe Hobbs and the 49er guard can help uncluster Gutey's erratic record.

And if indeed nobody is making an offer for him we should keep him. When healthy he is effective (but there is the rub - health). We'd be fools to let a player like this walk and get nothing in return.

I'd agree normally, but if he doesn't want to be here and he did indeed just sit out to end the year last year because he felt like it then there is no reason to even have him around the locker room. If he's really a part of this team, yes I'd keep him rather than cut for nothing, but he has to want to be and though I know nothing of the situation personally, it does seem like maybe he might not want to be.

Packers have made the playoffs 5 of the 7 years he's been in charge. If you want an example of a team that has a partial train wreck, feel free to travel 3 hours south of Green Bay.

What I find funny is there are two options in Ringo's mind of grading a career.

haaaaa, even a doz of those wont shield you from Huddle retaliation on those comments, Guty has only been at the helm for 6 years, heck we kept Mike Sherman in the seat for 5 lol.

I don’t think it’s injury concerns with the Packers. It’s the attitude.
And I don't get it. It seems like he genuinely liked playing here. Seems like it is something that could easily be fixed if both sides wanted to.
Just what I’ve gathered from listening to podcasts, and reputable ones with real reporters not the bloggers, it sounds like what happened was Jaire got hurt and the medical staff said he was good enough to play. He went out and had a bad game and shut himself down. He was seeing fans bash him for his poor play and decided he wasn’t going to play until he was 100%. The medical staff and team were pushing him to play and that’s when he shut himself down and got surgery on his knee basically forcing himself to miss the rest of the season.
How true is that? Idk. The way LaFleur acted at pressers about it, seeing Alexander practice every week only to not play, and the way everyone reacted the end of the season leads me to believe that most of that is probably true if not very close to the truth.
But even the year prior there was more behind the scenes of him being dysfunctional even prior to the coin flip incident. There’s a track record of him just wanting to do his own thing.
I say that because the sticking issue right now with all this hohum over Jaire could be contract demands, Guty might want to add a year minus a bump in dollars because Jaire has proven to be a part time player, or Jaire even wants to renegotiate for more, hard to tell with prima donna's
