One of the top priorities for Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst this offseason is to find a trade partner for Jaire Alexander. The Packers want to receive compensation for their former first-round pick instead of releasing him for nothing before the upcoming season.
Jaire Alexander to the Kansas City Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chiefs made a move this week that could open the door for a trade with the Packers. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer and Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox named the Chiefs as an ideal trade suitor for Green Bay.
“A team interested in Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander may be able to acquire him via trade, though the two-time Pro Bowler would reportedly prefer to hit the open market,” Knox wrote. “In the past, Alexander has been among the league’s top cover corners when healthy. However, injuries have limited him to 14 games over the past two seasons…
“Alexander’s trade market might primarily be teams that believe they can contend in 2025 and are willing to take a chance on his health. Breer named the Kansas City Chiefs as a potential landing spot for Alexander, and they didn’t add a cornerback in the draft before taking Nohl Williams in Round 3.”
The Green Bay Packers should get on the phone with the Chiefs
It’s unlikely that the Chiefs want Williams to be a Week 1 starter for a team that has aspirations of avenging their loss in February’s Super Bowl. A healthy Alexander would be an upgrade for a secondary that didn’t have a true replacement for L’Jarius Sneed in 2024.
Kansas City opened up a spot for another cornerback this week when they released veteran cornerback Robert Rochell. Packers fans might remember Rochell, as he played for Green Bay in 2023 and 2024.
The Chiefs have an opening if they want to trade for Alexander. He might be a player for Kansas City to take a risk on before mandatory minicamp in June.
