Green Bay Packers’ star cornerback Jaire Alexander apparently isn’t too worried about losing out on a significant workout bonus.
Per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the Pro Bowl corner departed Titletown after the offseason program commenced. Alexander recently returned, but the time away means he’ll also be missing out on a $700,000 workout bonus.
Fortunately for the Packers, Alexander isn’t worried about it, per Demovsky.
For an extra $700,000, you’d think Jaire would just suck it up and deal with the crowd. But to each their own!
The Packers are coming off a disappointing season in which they finished 8-9 on the year, marking their first losing season since 2018. The club traded away star quarterback and four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, thus signaling the beginning of a rebuild in Titletown.
Green Bay is moving forward with 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love, hoping the Utah State quarterback will make a smooth transition to the starting job, similar to what Rodgers did in 2008 following the Brett Favre Trade.
