The Green Bay Packers are stirring the pot like a halftime grill master flipping burgers at a July 4th cookout—something’s sizzling, but the main course remains a mystery.
On March 3, the Packers locked in linebacker Isaiah McDuffie with a two-year deal worth up to $9.5 million. The 2021 sixth-round pick started every game in 2024, racking up 24 tackles and 1.5 sacks. But the real drama?
League execs whisper Green Bay might cut ties with two-time Pro Bowl CB Jaire Alexander. Despite trading rumors, sources say the Packers could “ultimately release” the 2020 All-Pro. Imagine ditching a Ferrari for a Ford F-150—it’s bold, but does it make sense?

McDuffie’s rise contrasts sharply with Alexander’s uncertain future. The 27-year-old corner missed 14 games last season, leaving the secondary thinner than a slice of Wisconsin cheddar. Still, his $23 million cap hit in 2025 complicates any trade.
As free agency looms, Green Bay faces a choice: rebuild or reload?
