2-Time Super Bowl Champ Encourages Eagles to Pursue Jaire Alexander
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Who's going to take advantage of the Jaire Alexander sweepstakes? Could it be the Philadelphia Eagles, who are coming off a Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs? Former NFL cornerback Bryant McFadden encourages Howie Roseman and his front office to take a long, hard look at the newly-released Green Bay Packers defensive back. "Think about this: when you look at what the Eagles did a year ago, no question, outstanding defensive performances throughout the year. Led to a championship, but they moved on from Big Play Slay," said McFadden. Slay, a critical defensive piece to the Eagles' last two Super Bowl runs, decided that one more year was necessary before calling it a career. While Slay was open to a potential return to Philadelphia, he understood that the Eagles had a bit of a youth movement happening, with the emergence of Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. As a result, Slay took on a one-year deal to join the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. The Eagles remain confident in their secondary heading into their first season without Slay since 2020, but McFadden believes Alexander would offer a major boost, helping the rich get richer on the defensive side of the ball. "What about the Philadelphia Eagles?"@BMac_SportsTalk thinks the Eagles could be a good landing spot for Jaire Alexander 👀 — NFL on CBS 🏈 (@NFLonCBS) June 9, 2025 "When you look at Quinyon Mitchell, no question he is a guy you want to build around," McFadden added. "Outside of Quinyon Mitchell, Kelee Ringo is slated to be the starting cornerback opposite of Quinyon Mitchell. If you're Howie, and everything checks out in terms of the medical, I got to see what it would take to go get Jaire Alexander because you got to understand something about this secondary; they are going to get every opposing offense's best effort in terms of how well they played a year ago. Adding more experience along with more playmaking ability that Jaire has at his disposal." Jaire Alexander #23 of the Green Bay Packers warms up before the first half against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on December 13, 2020 in Detroit, Michigan. Jaire Alexander #23 of the Green Bay Packers warms up before the first half against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on December 13, 2020 in Detroit, been reported that Alexander's current health isn't a concern, but recent history suggests that will be the biggest red flag as he searches for his next NFL home. Since the 2021 NFL season, Alexander has played in 34 games—with 16 of those games coming during the 2022 season. In seven appearances last year, Alexander collected 16 tackles, seven pass deflections, and two interceptions. The Eagles are in a good place with or without an Alexander acquisition. If they wanted to travel the path of potentially adding him, the former Steelers cornerback believes that the Eagles would be able to make a strong case. "If I'm Howie, I roll the dice because one thing Howie has that the other teams have.. Championships!" McFadden finished. "A recent championship. That can be a great recruiting pitch to get a guy like Jaire Alexander."

Arizona Cardinals' free agent addition of LB Josh Sweat named top-25 offseason move
Arizona Cardinals' free agent addition of LB Josh Sweat named top-25 offseason move In the 25 best offseason moves this year, the Cardinals' addition of Josh Sweat comes in at No. 23. The Arizona Cardinals made a number of notable moves in the offseason on defense. Their biggest move money-wise was adding linebacker Josh Sweat, signing him to a four-year, $76.4 million deal. They hope he can jump start their presence off the edge. Bleacher Report named it one of the 25 best offseason moves, coming in at No. 23. When last we saw Josh Sweat, he was giving Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes nightmares in Super Bowl LIX. That monstrous performance earned Sweat an equally robust contract from the Cardinals, where he will join the re-signed Baron Browning and youngster B.J. Ojulari on a pass rush that was middle of the pack in sacks a year ago. Got to get after the quarterback to succeed in today's NFL. Sweat had his two best NFL seasons in 2021 and 2022 when Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was his defensive coordinator and Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis was his linebackers coach. Last season, he had eight sacks and added another two and a half in the Super Bowl. But Sweat isn't just a solid pass rusher. He is great and physical against the run, something that Rallis loves. Sweat's addition should both improve the pass rush and the Cardinals' run defense, both of which were problems in 2024. With Sweat and the return of Ojulari and Baron Browning, their edge presence should be solid.

Should the Panthers pursue newly-released CB Jaire Alexander?
Should the Panthers pursue newly-released CB Jaire Alexander? On Monday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers released two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander. Unable to come to terms on a compromise for the final two years and $37 million of their contract, the two sides officially parted ways right before the start of the team's mandatory minicamp. Also set to begin their minicamp on Tuesday are the Carolina Panthers, who could be willing to pick up the piece the Packers just left behind. But would signing Alexander make much sense in this current timeline? Well, it does on the depth chart, where the Panthers are still painfully thin at the outside cornerback position. Behind starters Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson sit Shemar Bartholomew and Akayleb Evans—who have four seasons of NFL experience between them—and three undrafted rookies. Heck, Horn and Jackson aren't exactly sure things either. The former has missed 31 of a possible 68 career games due to injuries while the latter is still trying to establish himself as a bonafide No. 2 in the secondary. Although the Panthers seem comfortable in moving forward with that tandem, teaming up Alexander with his fellow Pro Bowler in Horn suddenly gives them one of the best cornerback pairings in the NFL. The addition would also bump Jackson into a backup role, immediately strengthening that questionable depth. The prospect of signing Alexander, however, gets a little more complicated in the numbers game. For one, he presumably won't be looking to sign for cheap. Carolina has approximately $18 million in salary cap space, which ranks in the bottom half in the league and behind other potential suitors (some Super Bowl contenders) such as the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Plus, Alexander hasn't exactly been the most durable player in recent seasons. Due to numerous injuries, he was limited to 37 of Green Bay's 72 games (including postseason) between the 2021 and 2024 campaigns—so he's not the sure presence the Panthers need either. What he could be, though, is a potential mercenary. Yes, the term "mercenary" in sports is often reserved for teams in a championship window. And Carolina, obviously, is still trying to push that damn thing open. But now, especially in the current state of the NFC South, it may not be crazy to think that the Panthers could accomplish their goal of stealing the division in 2025. They can also offer Alexander, who lived most of his youth in the Charlotte area, something no other team can—home. Inking the 28-year-old Alexander to an expensive long-term pact doesn't feel like it should be in the realm of possibility for the young and upcoming Panthers roster. Instead, Carolina might want to consider a one-year trial run. Prior to his release, Alexander was taking in an annual average salary of $21 million—the fifth-highest amongst all cornerbacks. And he probably won't be very close to that number on his next agreement, considering the Packers—who have a good amount of cap space and real playoff hopes—weren't willing to continue at that price. If the Panthers can set aside about $14 million to $16 million for 2025, or even adjust an existing contract or two to make some space, then they may be able to sell Alexander on returning to his old stomping grounds for a prove-it deal. He can help catapult Carolina into contention while setting himself up for a more secure payday for 2026 and beyond. With the doubts surrounding his availability, Alexander may not end up finding that final big-time offer on the open market this summer. But he could find an intriguing opportunity, one that has the potential to be mutually beneficial for himself and his hometown team. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.
