If he is indeed traded, it’s certain that numerous NFL teams will express interest in acquiring his talents during the upcoming offseason.

Even though the 2023-24 NFL season is ongoing, several organizations are already looking ahead to significant changes for the next season.

Currently, the talk of the league centers around the head coach market, particularly for franchises that are no longer in contention this season. However, the start of the trade season and free agency is not far off.

On Tuesday, the trade landscape received a significant addition when Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Jaire Alexander posted on his Instagram account, saying, “Thank you God. Thank you Lambeau, for 6 years. Thank you to those who showed love throughout my journey.”

Clearly, the two-time Pro Bowler anticipates either becoming a cap casualty in the offseason or has informed the team of his desire to explore other opportunities.

If the Packers manage to pull off a blockbuster deal involving one of the NFC’s top cornerbacks, there are four teams that could be potential suitors in the offseason.

Las Vegas Raiders

Despite having impressive pass rushers up front, the Las Vegas Raiders struggled with their secondary throughout the season.

With defensive-minded head coach Antonio Pierce taking the helm next season, it wouldn’t be surprising if he urges the new general manager, Tom Telesco, to make a bold move and address the defensive issues by acquiring one of the league’s top cornerbacks.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals’ defense faced challenges at various points last year, hindering their playoff aspirations. Nevertheless, they possess promising young talents in Trey Hendrickson, Cam Taylor-Britt, and Jordan Battle.

Adding a proven Pro Bowl cornerback like Jaire Alexander to their roster in the upcoming season could be a significant coup and potentially lead to a substantial improvement for the defense in 2024.

Philadelphia Eagles

After boasting one of the league’s premier defenses in 2022, the Philadelphia Eagles experienced a significant decline this past season. They ranked second in most passing yards allowed in the NFL and were among the bottom ten in interceptions.

To return to their previous elite level of play, acquiring Jaire Alexander could be a game-changer for their defense. The choice of their next defensive coordinator could play a crucial role in their pursuit of a trade for the Packers star.

New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are likely to address their secondary during the offseason. While their current unit is solid, injuries took a toll on them in the 2023-24 season, and they need to add impactful players on the defensive side of the ball.

The Patriots have significant cap space to work with and can absorb Alexander’s contract without sacrificing key players from the previous season, potentially strengthening their roster.
