The Green Bay Packers have released two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirms. Alexander is now free to sign with another team. The two sides previously agreed to explore trade options while working on a contract restructure.

Rapoport followed up to report the Packers and Alexander agreed to see what trade avenues they might have and considered restructuring his contract. Albert Breer of The MMQB reported in April the two-time Pro Bowler preferred an outright release so he'd have more freedom in choosing his next team.

With the news that the Green Bay Packers plan to release Jaire Alexander, the premier cornerback will soon be able to sign wherever he likes. And to add insult to injury, there is one landing spot for Alexander that makes a ton of sense—but Packers fans aren't going to like it.
