Packers Release Jaire Alexander

[TheMarathonContinues]

I would suspect something similar, but all it takes is one team willing to overpay. If he is ok with a 1 year prove it deal a trio of Alexander/Diggs/Revel could be very good though to get you through 2025.

You are certainly right…Stefan Diggs showed that. And someone will. Some team who just wants to spend money probably a bad team will out spend everyone to get him….

 

[Hawkeye0202]

No team is going to invest a lot of guaranteed money in him without a one year prove it.
I will definitely offer him a modest one year deal maybe between 5 and 10 million

28 years old. Cut Diggs, sign him. Prosper.

Is Bland injured and I missed it somehow?

You’d be cutting Diggs for a guy similar to him lol. He can’t stay healthy either lol.

I think what most want is the three best corners out there. By seasons end your nickel would be Bland and have Diggs and Alexander on the outside. Alexander is the dog this secondary could use.

Cap

let's say doggs is 100 percent healthy. Him or bland is better?

Is he willing to work for the minimum with free parking on game days?

You're high if you think Jerry is giving up any parking revenue.

 

[darthseinfeld]

For the right price….you might want to kick the tires…especially if the market is a one year deal…this is what you save your cap money for…surprise late cuts.

Id definitely take a stab at it. It helps you ease in Revel with more favorable matchups and keeps you from needing Elam or Carson on the field 70% of the time.

Good chance he gets hurt at some point, but hopefully by the time he does Diggs is ready

If healthy they are all the same caliber to me. I can’t say one is better or not. But being that neither Diggs or Alexander can stay healthy…Bland is better.

Define 100%. Because those injuries may have sapped him of athleticism.

100% ready to play: Bland is probably better

100% of what he was: Diggs is better

 

[DRella]

Going to Philly...book it

Yeah he would get hurt. But I think you’ve set yourself up well with guys like Revel and Elam as insurance.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Better option than Gilmore?
Still they will wait to see what they have going into TC.

When he is healthy, he is definitely better than Gilmore is now

You assume there will be actual quality players available during and after TC. Thats a poor bet. If you want to improve, you do it now

Leaning towards this way. All three are great but two of the three has been injured and if we pretend like injuries didn’t happen id say Diggs but I’ve talked to @stilltheguru on corners in the past and I get why he feels that way. It’s the physicality and the tackling.

Would you

Yeah we’ve waited long enough. This time of the year is where you may find some sneaky finds….but I don’t think after TC is that time.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I think age is limiting Gilmore. He’s a band aid on a gun shot wound and you hope Diggs ready at some point. Jaire is a risk but younger and still skillful and more youthful. Gilmore will be cheaper and as others have assumed may have a handshake deal in place.

Gilmore was pretty bad last year. He doesn't have a team now for a reason

You know I want a dog and not 2 puppies. You darn skippy.

After TC your best hope is pretty much getting guys that are below average, but not so bad they will singlehandedly cost you games. Thats not improving. We still need to improve our roster before the season
