There really isn't a whole lot of Packers stuff to talk about right now. We're entering the only part of the NFL calendar that's actually as slow as you'd expect an offseason to be, and historically speaking, if your team is in the news right now, it's probably not a good thing. But the internet demands discourse, so we trudge on.

Then again, it's easy to keep chewing on the Packers' biggest offseason concerns when it's A.) Basically only one at this point and B.) A situation that hasn't really changed in any way this offseason. In hindsight, maybe it's a good thing that the Packers and Jaire Alexander have made no progress one way or another on this contract stalemate they have going – can't talk about potential trade suitors after they trade him!
What's the point in cryptic Twitter guesses from Packers beat writers after the fact? The front office knows that football is nice, but content pays the bills.
Just don't tell that to PFF, who is apparently getting very fed up with the fact that nothing's happened yet. In their latest list of Big Questions That Don't Really Have Answers And Are Actually Really Just 300-Word Brainstorms, they spend a chunk of time debating what's going to happen with Alexander and the Packers. Spoiler alert: they dunno!
PFF is tired of waiting on the Packers and Jaire Alexander to figure it out
PFF named Alexander's uncertain future as the Packers' biggest question after the draft.
"Over the past two seasons, the two-time Pro Bowler has played just 921 combined snaps," writes PFF's Bradley Locker. "Alexander has consistently been floated in trade conversations, but the Packers didn't add any cornerbacks outside of Nate Hobbs (61.5 PFF coverage grade), meaning trading Alexander could limit depth. One way or another, Green Bay needs to determine whether Alexander will be part of the team for 2025 and the foreseeable future."
That is true: one way or another, they do need to determine if they're going to pay one of their best players a lot of money. If it doesn't seem like there's really a ton actually being said here, don't blame PFF: there's not really anything anyone can say about this anymore. But a few PFF grades to commit to memory next time you're arguing about it never hurts, so credit them for adding their two cents.
At this point, maybe 'boring trade situation' is more like it.
