On Monday morning, the Green Bay Packers made a major decision for the future of the team. After an offseason full of rumors and speculation about the future of star cornerback Jaire Alexander, the team decided to release him.

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.

Unable to find a trade partner, the Packers have opted to release former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander on Monday morning.
