The San Francisco 49ers have lost quite a few key players this offseason, one of the biggest being in their secondary. The departure of Charvarius Ward could prove to be a costly one, and the 49ers could perhaps have another move up their sleeve to replace him.
Ward inked a three-year, $54 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason, leaving a massive hole in the secondary. There could be a star NFC corner on the move, as the Green Bay Packers could be looking to move on from Jaire Alexander.
One national writer tabbed the 49ers as a potential landing spot for Alexander.
"I could throw the San Francisco 49ers, (Los Angeles) Rams, (Pittsburgh) Steelers and (Kansas City) Chiefs out there as teams that entered the draft with needs at the position, and didn’t take corners in the first two rounds of the draft," the writer said of potential landing spots for Alexander in trade. "The question, to me, comes down to money. He’s due $17.5 million this year. And, because of his recent injury history, that’s shown to be a bit rich for interested teams.
“Alexander, meanwhile, would rather be cut so he can pick his destination, and he might not be willing to help with a contract adjustment to facilitate a trade."
Alexander's situation with the Packers has been rather odd this offseason. During the team's locker cleanup, he declined to speak to the media, saying he may not even be on the team next season. ESPN's Rob Demovsky had previously reported that Alexander and the Packers were not headed in the same direction as well.
In spite of those reports, Packers' general manager Brian Gutekunst has remained steadfast in saying that the Packers are working things out with Alexander. Demovsky is now reporting that the two sides are working towards a pact.
"According to a source, the Packers and Jaire Alexander continue to talk about a possible resolution, which could include a reconciliation to where Alexander plays for the Packers in 2025 after all," wrote Demovsky on X. "All options are still on the table: release, trade or return."
