Before these injuries, Alexander had become one of the best corner half of the NFL. After a promising recruit season in 2018, Alexander started in the 16 games of his second season. He made a familiar name in 2020, winning his first selection of Pro Bowl and an appearance in the team of the second All-Pro team. It was limited to only four games in 2021 due to a shoulder injury, but rebounded in 2022 to play in the 16 games, winning the honors of the All-Pro team and the second team.
After having signed an extension of $ 84 million over four years in 2022, Alexander should earn more than $ 16 million in 2025. Packers would have offered Alexander a restructured transaction In May, which would have led Alexander to make a drop in salary. It seems that Alexander did not want to conclude this agreement, leading to its signaled release.
In the past two seasons in which Alexander has played two -digit games, he has done the Pro Bowl. This should give a certain number of options at 28 years that he would have hit the market for free agents. Given the difficulties of injuries, Alexander may have to be satisfied with a short -term agreement. If he can stay healthy and come back in shape, Alexander could recover a much larger contract on the market next season.
