At this point, expected.
Don’t think anyone should be surprised by this. Sucks to hear, next man up.
Jaire “Bakhtiari” Alexander
Time is a flat circle.
Not-here Alexander
Taken out by an untied shoe.
Absolutely gutted for Jaire. Very good chance we don’t see him in the Green and Gold again. Incredible personality and a solid player, but just can’t stay on the field. Hope he heals up well!
Edit: [Jaire had knee surgery on Tuesday. Could be back for the Super Bowl if we make it that far.](https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1874546337502634262?t=q5al9sn1Z6sjhf_T30Q45w&s=19)
Release this offseason, sadly.
Damn shame but I’ve suspected this would be the case for awhile now. I really wonder if we’ve seen Jaire play his last snap as a Packer.
As predicted. No news here.
I don’t like that.
Oh well. We keep moving forward
genuinely a top 5 favorite packer of all time for me. heartbreaking knowing this is probably it.
Dumb question but why didn’t he get surgery when he was first injured months ago?
Looks like the CB room will get the three draft pick treatment this year.
Is there anyone who tracks $ to snaps played?
Gutted
Oof. Been a rough week for Super Bowl hopes.
I love how everyone all of a sudden is just now saying “oh he’s gonna get released we’ll never see him again” now that he’s out for the season without giving any other reason. He’s still young and very fucking good and I think it’s kind of dumb to assume we’ll drop him like Eric Stokes hasn’t been in and out just like him and been significantly worse in that time.
(Albeit this season is the complete opposite which good for him)
We should’ve just put him on IR sooner. Sucks, but we cannot go into the next season with our current CB room. I’m fine with Nixon/Valentine, but we need to draft at least two more corners.
damn man that sucks. He may have played his last game as a Packer as well.
Valentines time to shine.
Obviously doesn’t factor into their mindset because they’re professionals/competitors, but it should be a lesson to players that trying to play through injuries will buy you minimal good will from the wider fan base and that self-preservation is probably the smarter move in the long run.
Hope we see him again next year.
Welp whoever he ends up playing for next I expect he’ll never be injured again.
So he tried to play through an injury that ultimately needed surgery. Think about that.
Sucks, hope to see him healthy again.
I guess at least we can stop wondering and move on with the guys we know that can play
You will get a project round 1 cornerback in the 2025 draft and you will like it
Thanks for the memories Ja! Looking forward to who we pick up in next year’s draft!
Sad. Loved him when he played
GREAT. WONDERFUL.
My absolute favorite game of his was when he locked down Jefferson all game and griddied on him even though it cost me my FF championship. I don’t think we see him back but at this point we barely saw him in the first place.
He has 19 million in dead cap if he’s released this year, don’t think they’ll cut him to save 7 million when they have 62 million in cap space for 2025
Bought his jersey at Lambeau in May 2022 right after he signed his new contract. He’s been the most disappointing player on our team since that time. Makes me hate the jersey
Wish they would have just done this after he re-injured it.
Season from hell for him. Injuries are startin to be a BIG problem for us
Unfortunate! Next man up. Our secondary did their job against the Vikings, our pass rush was just nonexistent
“Alexa, play ‘Leave the Memories Alone'”

He won’t be cut next season. Same situation as Bakh; too much dead cap, just not really worth it. If he’s not up to snuff next season he’s gone. Especially true since we’re short on good CBs and heavy on cap space. It’ll definitely be a position we’re looking to in the draft, but I wouldn’t be altogether surprised if we reach into FA or trades for somebody; CB and Edge are biggest concerns right now by far, which I’m doubtful we’ll attempt to fix purely through the draft. That and maybe a WR if one with hands happens to pop up.
Why didn’t they fucking do it initially
Fucking ridiculous
Thats the season man
