Jaire Alexander landing spots: 5 NFL teams that should pursue CB after Packers release ft. Minnesota Vikings

Jaire Alexander is set to leave the Green Bay Packers after spending seven years with the NFC giants. The All-Pro cornerback and the Packers were unable to reach an agreement on a team-friendly deal during the ongoing offseason.

So, according to ESPN, the Packers will move on from their star cornerback before minicamp. That'll make Alexander the most sought after player in the free agency pool.

With that in mind, let's look at five potential landing spots for the lockdown CB.

Five Jaire Alexander landing spots

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars have an interesting CB rotation entering the 2025 regular season. Veterans Tyson Campbell and Jourdan Lewis are talented CBs but lack the high-end talent to be true CB1s, while Travis Hunter might spend most of his rookie season as a wide receiver.

So, Jaire Alexander could be a savvy addition to Liam Coen's side. He'll lock down the CB1 slot and act as a mentor to Hunter on the defensive side of the ball.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a perennial postseason contender, and they're looking to win their first playoff game in years. They've done a decent job this offseason, adding Super Bowl champion Darius Slay to their cornerback rotation.

However, moving forward, Jaire Alexander would show that Mike Tomlin's side means business. A CB room of Alexander, Big Game Slay, and Joey Porter Jr. will clamp down on opposing pass catchers.

3. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have invested a lot of money in A.J. Terrell, and the franchise seems to have settled in the veteran as their CB1 for the foreseeable future. However, the possibility of adding Alexander to their roster might be too good an opportunity to pass on.

Jaire Alexander is one of the best man-to-man CBs of his generation, and he could shut down a side of the Gridiron on his own. That, coupled with Terrell's talent for preventing separation, could make the Falcons an offensive coordinator's worst nightmare.

2. Las Vegas Raiders

Something serious is brewing in Las Vegas under the guidance of Tom Brady as the team's minority owner. The franchise made an array of smart offseason signings and has former Super Bowl-winning head coach Pete Carroll at the wheel.

The Raiders could use a player of Jaire Alexander's caliber in their ongoing rebuild. Plus, they're one of the few teams able to afford to offer him a blockbuster contract.

1. Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have the chance to sign a player who has been the bane of their offense for ages. Alexander's battles with Justin Jefferson are the stuff of legend, and now there's a chance that they could be teammates.

The Vikings could pair Alexander and Byron Murphy Jr. to give them one of the NFC's most stellar secondaries. Future Packers vs. Vikings games might get a fascinating new subplot.
