jaire alexander becomes highest-paid cb

5/17/2022

The Green Bay Packers signed cornerback Jaire Alexander to a four-year, $84 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid corner in NFL history (up until this point, because we know that's how it works). Alexander is said to be fully recovered from a shoulder injury that kept him sidelined for the majority of 2021. When healthy, Alexander is one of the best CBs in the NFL; now, he's paid like one.

Packers and Pro-Bowl CB Jaire Alexander are finalizing a 4-year, $84 million contract extension, per source. Deal includes $31 million in 2022 - a DB record of $30 million in signing bonus. Alexander will receive $42.5M by March. @JohnThornton of @RocNationSports confirmed deal.

On Monday, the Atlanta Falcons signed former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison, adding another option to the mix. Allison is inconsistent at best, mostly having a great game now and then before falling off completely. Allison had most of his success in Green Bay, but the team let him walk in free agency.

The Falcons have signed veteran WR Geronimo Allison.

The league is likely deciding on a potential Deshaun Watson suspension, as executives are reportedly meeting with Watson in Texas later this week. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett would probably start in Watson's place for the Cleveland Browns for the duration of his suspension.

In such investigations, the NFL usually talks to the player last, so this is likely an indication the league is wrapping things up. Next question would be whether or not they make a ruling before there's resolution on the 22 civil cases. https://t.co/0Ff0G06Azt

The New England Patriots waived quarterback D'Eriq King, who signed with the team as an undrafted free agent. King was expected to play a multitude of roles -- anything from QB to receiver to running back to kick returner. King didn't do enough to earn a roster spot, but could end up on the practice squad.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said Kyle Trask would not be competing with Blaine Gabbert for the backup QB job during camp, which is... interesting. This doesn't bode well for Trask's future as a quarterback if he can't beat out Gabbert in camp, no? How bad can this guy be?

Bucs quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen when asked if Kyle Trask will have the chance to compete as the backup QB: "It's more of a learning curve. I don't see him competing with Gabbert this year. ... I see Gabbert being the backup and Kyle being the developmental guy."

General manager John Lynch reiterated again that the San Francisco 49ers have no interest at moving wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The Niners don't want to move him, but Samuel has requested a trade and clearly wants out of San Francisco. Samuel has one year left on his rookie deal, so this is a situation that will be closely monitored. I'm in the club of 'everyone is tradeable for the right price.'

While many have assumed Baker Mayfield would be traded by now, the first-round quarterback is still on the Cleveland Browns' roster, and their asking price may go down post-draft. The Carolina Panthers, who are slated to pick at No. 6, could further pursue Mayfield if they don't take a QB with that pick. The Seattle Seahawks have also been a team linked to Mayfield.

The New York Giants are looking to trade wide receiver Kadarius Toney unless they aren't. While reports have floated over the past week of a desire to trade him, New York may not be shopping him; just listening to offers. And they want something substantial in his return. So while Toney has not reported to offseason workouts, has been plagued by injuries, and has no real ties to head coach Brian Daboll, a trade for Toney will likely not happen before the Draft later this week. UPDATE: Toney was present at the Giants' facility for workouts on Monday.

Spoke to a bunch of sources around the league about second-year WR Kadarius Toney over the weekend. Giants view him as a valuable asset. Would want a significant return. Makes it seem right now the likelihood is he does not get moved.#giants #nfl #NFLDraft2022

The 49ers picked up edge rusher Nick Bosa's fifth-year option. Bosa, the second-overall pick in 2019's draft, has been one of the top ten edge rushers the entirety of his career thus far. I'd expect the Niners to want to work out a long-term deal with him sometime in the near future.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne missed last season with an injury, and what a year he missed. The Jaguars' 2021 season was full of drama, and I don't think I need to explain all the ins and outs. But, with disappointments (hopefully) in the rearview, Etienne is looking toward the future and getting some work in with former college teammate Trevor Lawrence.

Green Bay Packers quarterback and ghee enthusiast Aaron Rodgers is not expected to attend the team's voluntary offseason workouts at this time. This is hardly news, as many vital veterans also choose not to show up, but that won't stop fans from overreacting. The only reason you'll catch me criticizing Rodgers showing up to these workouts would be to work with his receivers, as his top receiver Davante Adams departed from the team earlier this offseason.

Regarding Rodgers not showing up for the off-season: remember, he has a $50K workout bonus (as I first reported, thank you very much) that requires him to show up for 3 days. So, this is not news to the #Packers. If he wants to show up any other time, he can. It’s all voluntary. https://t.co/sciBVMkQIB

Ever since the Sam Darnold experience seemingly failed, the Carolina Panthers are in a position to draft a quarterback in this year's NFL Draft. The only question is which one they will go with. While many have ranked Liberty's Malik Willis to Carolina and, more recently, Kenny Pickett, a third name has been thrown into the mix in Matt Corral.

Amidst all the Pickett-to-Panthers talk, I believe Matt Corral is a real possibility at 6 to Carolina, too. □ https://t.co/9hqf1uiNRj

Rumors were swirling when Tom Brady "retired" earlier this year that Brady wanted to play for the Miami Dolphins and potentially have an owner's stake in the team. This is escalating, as "reports" are emerging that Brady's original retirement post was only a farewell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and not to his career. And the real reason why he didn't thank the New England Patriots? He planned to play them twice a year as the quarterback of the Dolphins.

Once again, the Jacksonville Jaguars have the number one pick in this year's NFL Draft. While they're not taking a quarterback for once and seem pretty set on current starter Trevor Lawrence, there is plenty of speculation about who they will take with the first overall pick. Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has been a popular pick, but lately, many are pointing to Travon Walker out of Georgia. I am fully on board with the "mock drafts are stupid" sentiment, and I would prefer to wait until draft night. Thanks for your time.

If we've learned anything from this offseason so far, it's that no NFL player is un-tradeable. That, apparently, will not be the case for the New York Giants and running back Saquon Barkley. There's been speculation around the league that Barkley, a former first-round pick, was being shopped by the team to pursue a considerable return. I am in the camp that believes Barkley deserves better (his team is utter garbage), but the Giants have made their decision, and Barkley is staying put. At least for now.

Is this desperation season for the Las Vegas Raiders? While last season, we weren't sure if Derek Carr would even remain their starter, this offseason, we're heading into the possibility of Carr getting top QB money. This is absurd. Carr didn't play horribly last season, don't get me wrong, but the underlying theme of his entire career is that he is incredibly inconsistent to the point where he doesn't always put his team in the best position to win. Which is what you want when you're paying a quarterback this type of money, no?

As it relates to Derek Carr and the @Raiders, the sense is no proposals have been exchanged yet on an extension. You'll see various numbers being thrown around, but, as I've been reporting, any extension would likely be in the $40m per season range.

In the final episode of his podcast, Tom Brady says he's content with his decision to retire and that he'll take things "day by day." While many are speculating if he'll return to the game as the season looms closer, this quote kind of cements that he's not thinking about a return right now. But the conspiracy wheels will turn. Why hasn't he been placed on the Bucs' retirement list yet? I, personally, won't believe Brady has retired until he gives his Hall of Fame speech. And still, maybe not then.

Of all people to understand what Odell Beckham Jr. was going through when he tore his ACL during the Super Bowl, it was his Los Angeles Rams teammate Robert Woods.

Beckham should have surgery soon to repair the ACL before free agency begins in March.

Joe Burrow's NFL career is off to a great start, with a trip to the Super Bowl in his first entire season under his belt. There is one huge concern, though: injuries. Burrow tore his ACL during his first season and suffered various injuries throughout this season. And they were all due to one thing - the lack of protection from the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive line. One former GM wonders if this could shorten Burrow's career, a la Andrew Luck. I think it's too early to speculate about those things, but if the Bengals don't tighten up their offensive line, Burrow might not make it through another season to see another Super Bowl.

Hall-Of-Fame executive Bill Polian hopes Joe Burrow doesn’t turn into the next Andrew Luck.

The Miami Dolphins have hired their head coach. San Francisco 49ers assistant Mike McDaniel blew the Dolphins away and will be the Dolphins' head coach heading into the 2022 NFL season. McDaniels is an intelligent football mind who can take their offense to the next level. There's one snag, though. I don't think current starter Tua Tagovailoa is the quarterback McDaniels excels with. It will be interesting to see if the team picks up a free agent veteran this offseason.

Aaron Rodgers' future will be one of the most talked-about stories this offseason. With guys like Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady (allegedly) retiring, many wonder if Rodgers will follow suit. While many are speculating that he could play elsewhere, Green Bay Packers' management is reportedly agreeing on how to handle this question going into the offseason. The (likely) league MVP has shown his worth in Green Bay, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him stick around in Wisconsin. But for how long is unclear.

packers

Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Jordan Love didn't have the best Sunday, and it began (or continued) to spark questions of if Love is genuinely the Packers' future. Head coach Matt LaFleur isn't blaming Love for having to be ready at the last minute. "I thought Jordan, I was really proud of the way he played. He hung in there; he was taking hits and delivering the ball. I thought he did a really good job."

patriots

There is a new New England Patriots controversy among us. Quarterback Mac Jones appeared to twist Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns' ankle after a sack. However, head coach Bill Belichick says he thinks Jones was just trying to pursue the ball and didn't intentionally twist Burns' ankle. I tend to side with Belichick, even though the video does look kinda bad. Jones later agreed, saying he was just trying to make a tackle on Burns.

"I think he thought Burns had the ball," Bill Belichick says to @TheGregHillShow, when asked what he saw from the Mac Jones play in which he held on to Brian Burns leg after the strip sack.

Zach Wilson is expected to practice this week for the New York Jets, but his status is still very much up in the air. Mike White is looking more like the assumed starter (although that could change in the coming days), as head coach Robert Saleh says they don't want to rush Wilson back too soon.

QB Zach Wilson (knee) will practice this week, according to Jets coach Robert Saleh.

Asked if Wilson will play Sunday, Saleh said "Yeah. If he’s fully healthy, for sure. But we’ll see how he is. ... We're not in any hurry to rush him back."
