Packers open to trading CB Jaire Alexander

[Buffalo_Stampede]

He’s perfect skill wise but he’s hard to trust at this point.

That's a pass for me. Benford is going to get a big extension and I don't believe in paying two CBs at once. Draft a CB somewhere between rounds 1 and 4 and let him compete with a baseline vet for the CB2 role.

Preferably rd 4 or later, given Beanes track record, Taron, Benford, Wallace,  Dane. Man I wish Tre stayed healthy ugh

He’s only 28 and was elite at one point.  We need elite players.  

Injuries happened, just like Milano, he is no longer elite.

You put elite pass rushers on the line and Elam could look Elite in the secondary!

C'mon dude, elite? I can't think of many teams Elam is starting on. Wasted 1st on someone who will be nothing more than depth.

Might be more probable than a Dlineman trade.   First 2 picks on Dline. 1 edge and 1 1 tech.  That flips the defense pretty quickly.

Doubtful about Elam.  Dude starts grabbing and holding as soon as ball is snapped.  

 

As does Sauce Gardner.  One didn't enter the league with a lot of hype and gets flagged for it, the other doesn't.

[Big Turk]

Dude is a punk and is injured way too much for my liking.  Doesn't even have last year's injuries in there but a concerning trend is that most of the multiple games missed(add in at least 9 from last year to the below) have come within the last few years, meaning his durability is decreasing. Counting the end of season injury, he has missed at least 31 games in the last 4 seasons, which is almost half of the games. No way I am risking paying big money to a guy who is out half the time.

 

Extremely hard pass for me.

Too injury prone. 

[Jauronimo]

I'd like to see him end up in Houston.

[julian]

Injury history is what would hold me back from making the move.

[Trust The Process]

Hard no. Alexander is a gimp hence is no longer worth the money or the draft pick or picks it'll take to trade for him.

I was being a bit sarcastic WRT Elam, but my point is the key starts up front to getting better.  But do think Elam and everyone in the secondary would look much better with higher pressure on QB.

Can't argue the point on pressuring the QB. We will need someone opposite Benford cause imo Douglas ain't it. I wouldn't mind retaining him but feel we could do better. 

[Warriorspikes51]

This guy might be my least favorite player in the NFL

[FLFan]

He has missed at least 10 games 3 of the last 4 years.  This would seem like a very bad bet.  I think it is a stretch to assume he is still elite.  Retaining Benford is going to be expensive and that is the right move.  Looks to me like Green Bay is trying to salvage something out of a likely cap casualty.

[JoshAllin]

Bills do love the getting some of that packers backfield. Only ones I know of are Douglas or Micah so I could see this happening but who knows actually

I'm surprised he is only 28. Depends on price. But I'd consider moving one of our late 2nds for him if we could get a mid round pick back. Say send #62, swap #131 for #123 and get #160. 

 

That makes him worth high round 3 overall value. That feels fair.

 

They got a 3rd from us for Rasul...Jaire is better than Rasul, not sure that gets it done.  But I would do that deal if they the Packers would take it

We got a 5th back though didn't we? It was late third value at best. Plus they may well want Alexander off the books. I don't think he'd cost a 2nd straight up. I think you could definitely get something back.

[DJB]

He’s missed some time recently and has regressed 

 

Im leary about handing out big contracts to “older” corners. Their dependability and speed are always the first to go over other positions 

[Warriorspikes51]

If we trade for a top tier player it HAS to be DL or WR
