Hmmm..
Jaire reached out to Nate Hobbs to congratulate him after he signed with the #Packers...

I've been 100% operating as if Jaire wont be back next year.
But what if he is?
Jaire + Hobbs + Nixon + X + Bullard/Willaims
Idk just a thought 🤷♂️ https://t.co/YCfxINwLGB
Interesting....Can never have enough CB's

Especially if they are good.
Maybe Jaire wanted a CB who was better than who GB has put on the field to take some pressure off of him and/or bring more action his way. While Jaire is the best CB when he's on the field, QBs know they don't have to throw to his guy when they can easily pick up yards going to someone else. Maybe Jaire just likes challenges. Who knows?

I'm not sure how true this still is. His rating (QB efficiency vs) is "not good" over the last two years of play. Could have been related to the injuries but still not a good sign for a CB fast approaching 30.
Injuries and I think he might have lost motivation. I certainly hope he's also grown up a bit over the past two years.

There have been opinions that JA was upset losing Rasul and when he didn't see a move last year to improve CB it was easy for him to be injured for the year.
If Alexander stepped on the field today he’s clearly their best pure cover guy. Sure, he’s not a great or willing tackler and ball skills aren’t ideal but in terms of lining up and pass defending he’s still very effective.

Agree with this. I would like to see him stay. And I would like to see a lot less of Nixon out there.
Jaire is a loon...but you just have to know how to manage it. Lots of loons in the NFL. As long as they don't have a substance abuse problem, you can work with any of them.
In spite of the fanboy media assertions to the contrary, I always felt like keeping Jaire was the best option. Hope it happens. He's really good when on the field.
I glanced at an article a while back that had the premise of keeping JA, instead of moving on from him, as being the better surprise move to make. I agreed. Give it one more year with him and Hobbs. Unless there's a Calvin available. Then dump JA.
I'm hoping he stays and plays. The past is the past or prologue or history or something. Who cares? It's in the past.
