As the Packers seem to be moving on from the cornerback, NFL veteran and Packers President Mark Murphy didn't hold back when reflecting on Jaire Alexander's time in Green Bay.

"He's been a fantastic player for us. Murphy remarked on Monday, "Obviously elite talent, but sadly, just injured a lot. Unfortunately, that's a big part of our game."

Murphy mentioned Alexander's absences once more when questioned about his level of confidence in the remainder of the cornerback group. "We've been used to playing without Alexander," he said, suggesting that he believes Keisean Nixon will be a positive addition for the Packers going forward.

Murphy's evaluation is difficult to refute.

Alexander has missed as many games (34) throughout the course of the previous four seasons as he has participated in. During that period, he only put on his gear for more than seven games in a season once—in 2022—when he was a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro.

He is the sort of player who earned a huge four-year, $84 million extension in 2022 and is one of the best shutdown corners in the NFL when healthy.

However, he missed the previous season due to a knee injury that needed surgery, and in 2023, the Packers placed him on administrative leave for one game after he acted alone during a pregame coin toss. Additionally, he has a temper, as evidenced by his argument with Vikings standout Justin Jefferson in 2022.

Should the Vikings try to sign Jaire Alexander?

Although Minnesota has made some wise changes to their roster this offseason, the position of cornerback is still up for debate. The Vikings have always been willing to make prudent bets on players with significant potential, particularly those who have had injuries in the past (and especially former Packers).

Alexander, at only 28, would have every incentive to ball out in an attempt to secure another lucrative contract, and the Vikings have done a good job of retaining players on the field.
