Hard to intercept passes when the other team rarely throws in your direction. Pretty strong case that he's the best cover corner in the league.

Fun reading back through this thread.



This shared tweet (from the day after he was drafted) stood out to me.

If I’m the Packers I do everything possible to lock up and extend Alexander before he hits the open market.   He’s a top 3 corner in the NFL.  You cannot replace guys like that very easily.  

Teams are not throwing his way.  That’s the greatest compliment a corner can receive and I guarantee you they respect his ability (picks or not) because all he does is shut down the opposing player.  

If you look back over the last couple of years the only WRs to have any level of success against him are Diggs and Thielen in MN.  That’s about it.

King has played well this year but I worry about the contract year and his injury history.

That’s true Boris.  It works both ways.

Jalen Ramsey is a very good player but don’t think for a second that Davante Adams will be sick and tired of hearing all week about how good Ramsey is - or how he’s the so called best corner in the league.  I suspect Jaire will have something to prove as well.   You will never convince me that Ramsey had a better season than Alexander.

Some may not want to hear this, but a healthy Kevin King helps 23's game as well. The Packers can just do more and allow Alexander more freedom when they know King is at the very least competent on the other side of the field.

It also helps that this safety duo is playing lights out. Amos has had a Pro Bowl year and Savage really looks like a legit 1st rounder.

No surprise here but the Packers are picking up his 5th year option.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WSAW) - According to a report by Sports Illustrated’s Mike Silver, the Packers have exercised cornerback Jaire Alexander’s fifth-year option for the 2022 season.

Alexander will make $13.294 million during the 2022 season.

The Packers first-round pick in 2018 is considered one of the top corners in the league. He’s tallied four interceptions in his three seasons in Green Bay. The 24-year-old also racked up 41 passes defended. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2020.
