CB Jaire Alexander getting cut

Only way we should sign him is on a vet minimum, which is not likely.....or a performance based contract with incentives highly based on how much he is on the field.

Kyle votes pass, but doesn't think it will impact the Ramsey situation.

For me, I would hope to work out something very incentive heavy. I don't think starting at the vet minimum gets it done. He's played half seasons lately, so I'd offer half of starter market value, with triggers to double if he doesn't miss any games, adding lots more $$$ if he balls out. Both sides get value, and he can hit the open market again next year.
 
Apparently the Pack had a trade agreed to "with another AFC East team" ( edit - it was the Bills) and it fell through because Alexander would not take a pay cut to facilitate it. Crabbs is basically saying it's all about the price point for the Phins, whatever deal he takes is probably going to be a one year prove it deal . Incentives based on playing time is a phrase Alexander and his agent should get used to hearing.

Florio speculating the Pack got the word out on releasing Alexander in order to maybe spur some last-ditch trade activity -

"We’ve seen this movie before. We may end up seeing it again today.

By getting the word out early Monday that the Packers will be releasing veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander, the Packers could be trying to beat the bushes for a trade partner.

It has happened many times. And here’s how it goes: The new of the planned termination is leaked. The phone rings. A deal gets done before the player becomes a free agent."

Alexander is a possibility, although not anytime soon.

First off, he'll need to linger as a free agent for awhile... get lowball offers...

After a few weeks/months of this, he'll likely start thinking more reasonably. Then, if we still have a need... maybe.

His base salary is 16,300,000 a year. Anyone thinking he will take vet minimum are dreaming or drunk....or both 😂

Correction: his cap hit WAS 16.3 million. When the packers releas him so his base is currently $0. He’s missed 20 of the last 34 games the packers have played and 34 of the last 68 in the last 4 years. That contract value is long gone.

He needs to sign a one year deal and not only make it through an entire season without injury but play at a high level if he ever wants to see anything close to that number again. Maybe get min is low but again sitting out and not playing won’t help his value either.

He’s either being advised poorly or he is a moron, he will get next to no guaranteed money. I don’t think he will have a very strong market unless it’s a cheap deal with incentives based on playtime. He’s missed 50% of games over the last 4 seasons, only the desperate will be interested in him. Yes, that includes the Dolphins.

I don’t get players not taking a pay cut when the next option is being cut when you won’t have a strong market. Chubb had the foresight to see that and stay in Miami, meanwhile X didn’t and is no longer in the league.

Exactly we got a Russell Wilson situation now. Packers are covering his salary and any team he plays for would just come out of the cap hit he’s already got.

I agree with that @Springveldt , assuming said player wants to remain with their current team. Maybe he wants out of The Frozen Tundra, looking for a fresh start, who knows. Fitting that you mention B. Chubb, Alexander is repped by Roc Nation , same agency as Chubb, perhaps they'll eventually counsel him to adjust his expectations.
