Alexander participated in the Packers’ remote sessions last week, and ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported on Tuesday that Alexander and the team “continue to talk about a possible resolution” regarding Alexander’s contract dispute. The Packers reportedly explored trading Alexander earlier this offseason, but his respective $24.6 million and $27 million cap hits over the next two years loom large. The two sides are in a standoff, and it is unclear how things will unfold from here.

“All options are still on the table: release, trade or return,” Demovsky added. The oft-injured Alexander, 28, has reached a stalemate with the Packers front office, which has reportedly tried to trade the veteran corner this offseason. The Packers would save $6.8 million in cap space by parting ways with Alexander, graded last year by PFF as the NFL’s eighth best cover corner. It appears he could stay in Green Bay after all.

Silverstein’s sources add that the Packers were close to dealing Alexander near the start of free agency, but that the combination of “trade compensation and Alexander’s willingness to alter his contract to fit the other team’s salary cap have made it difficult to close a deal.” We’ve been blurbing about Alexander’s situation all offseason and nothing has changed to this point. If the draft passes without a trade, we’re likely headed to a place where the Packers would be more compelled to release or keep him than trade him.

Gutekunst said almost the exact same thing back in February while also acknowledging that the two sides could be headed for a split. Alexander, 28, appeared in just seven games last year due to injury but said he had “nothing good to say” about the organization after their playoff run ended in the NFC Wild Card Round. Speaking at the NFL owners meeting, Gutekunst said the team would like to get something in return for Alexander if possible, but with two years left on his deal and his recent injury history, a trade could prove difficult to pull off.
