Official: Jeff Brohm Announces Re-Signing of Former Star Jaire Alexander
Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm has officially announced the re-signing of former standout cornerback Jaire Alexander.

Further details on the nature of his role or agreement are yet to be disclosed.
Packers Weigh Future of Jaire Alexander Amid Injury Concerns
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stated that the team could afford to keep cornerback Jaire Alexander but gave no clear indication of whether he would remain on the roster for the 2025 season.
Alexander, who turns 28 next month, has struggled with injuries, missing 10 regular season games in each of the past two years, including the final seven games of 2024 due to a knee injury. His durability, age, and high contract value create uncertainty about his future with the team.
Gutekunst acknowledged both the player’s frustrations and the organization’s concerns during his season-ending press conference, noting that Alexander has been a key contributor when healthy. However, with his cap number rising to nearly $25 million in 2025 and a potential dead cap hit of $18 million if released, the Packers must weigh their options carefully.
Despite speculation, Gutekunst dismissed any notion of a rift between Alexander and the team, emphasizing that both sides are frustrated by his inability to stay on the field. With no guaranteed money remaining in his deal, the Packers must decide whether to keep their two-time All-Pro cornerback or move on in the offseason.
