The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys are expected to make the playoffs again in the 2024 season.
The Cowboys are on track to advance to the Super Bowl in the 2023 season. The Packers have spent the 2023 season trying to figure out if they have another franchise quarterback (note: they do).
The Packers and Cowboys have been named in a deal that will shake up both clubs significantly.
The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys are expected to make big deals.NFL analyst Matthew Schmidt mentioned the following scenario:Do the Cowboys need Alexander? Not necessarily. That’s because Trevon Diggs will return from a torn ACL next season and DaRon Bland will be ready for 2023. But they’ll certainly lose Stephon Gilmore to free agency and are in a league in extreme transition where needs quality cornerbacks.
Given his growing importance, Dallas may look around to see if they can lure Alexander away from Green Bay. If the Cowboys offer the Packers a first-round pick in 2024 in exchange for Alexander, Green Bay could decide to accept that deal.Alexander has a four-year, $84 million contract that runs through 2026.
He took to social media to thank Green Bay fans for the past six years and made a cryptic but not-so-cryptic comment that suggested he thinks his time at defensive end with the Packers is coming to an end. Iskander had a difficult season, playing in just seven games due to injuries and suspension. His woes could backfire on the organization, and when he’s healthy, Green Bay might wonder if he’s still valuable.
The Cowboys are a team that needs reinforcements.
Despite three consecutive 12-win seasons, they failed to advance in the division. This year, the Packers beat Dallas in the wild card round. Alexander also shutout Dak Prescott in that game. Will the Packers trade Jaire Alexander? Alexandru’s transfer does not make financial sense at the moment. Last season, the team and Alexander agreed to a four-year, $84 million contract. At that time, of the $84 million contract deposit, only $30 million was guaranteed.
Over the course of Alexander’s five-year contract, the incentives exceeded the salary cap ($6 million per year).
Therefore, Alexander’s dead cap (trade or release value) in 2024 is $18 million (dead cap before signing bonus).
A significant portion of Alexander’s 2023 compensation was restructured into bonuses. If the team decides to release Alexander in 2024, the additional bonus would add $9.4 million to the cap.Financial concerns aside, Alexander also expressed his love for team leader and All-Pro Matt LaFleur.
