Seahawks considering adding a veteran cornerback. Jaire Alexander is available. Hmmm...
A two-time Pro Bowl cornerback just became available. Are the Seahawks good with their depth at cornerback? Are they interested in pursuing, say, Jaire Alexander, that two-time Pro Bowl corner the Green Bay Packers released this week because of a contract impasse? Seattle coach Mike Macdonald didn't exactly say yes to the first question or no to the second. Macdonald was asked this week how he feels about the Seahawks' depth at cornerback. 'Great,' the coach and defensive guru said following the team's final practice of minicamp and the veterans' offseason ended Wednesday. 'Again, these are great battles going into the offseason.' Without being asked specifically about Alexander, who Macdonald and Seahawks general manager (and Green Bay-area native) John Schneider know is now an unsigned free agent, Macdonald also said this about cornerback: 'Now, I mean, are we not going to look to always improve our team in any aspect? No. 'We're always going to be out there and try to be in everything and chasing edges on making us better.' The Seahawks have already hosted free-agent cornerbacks Rasul Douglas and Shaquill Griffin this offseason. Seattle and former coach Pete Carroll drafted Griffin in the third round in 2017. He played his first four seasons with the Seahawks. Now 29, Griffin was a reserve cornerback last season with Minnesota. He reportedly visited Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders this week. The Packers released Alexander Monday, after he refused their offer of an amended contract. Multiple reports said he didn't want to take a restructured deal with a pay cut and more incentive bonuses. His father came out online and said the Packers wanted Alexander to play in 2025 with almost no guaranteed money. 'He wasn't willing to play for damn near free is a better quote,' Earl Landis Alexander posted on Twitter/X Friday. There's rarely anything that happens around the Packers that Schneider isn't in tune with. The Seahawks' 54-year-old GM was born and raised in De Pere, Wisconsin, five miles from Green Bay's Lambeau Field. His first NFL job was as a Packers scout for then-Green Bay GM Ron Wolf in 1993. He knows Brian Gutekunst, the Packers' current general manager. Schneider is assuredly up to date on Alexander's situation and why Green Bay let him go. Schneider's constant mantra about available free agents is he's always competing and seeking to improve the Seahawks, all year. That includes these six weeks between the end of offseason practices and the start of Seattle's training camp July 23. In OTAs and minicamp, the Seahawks had Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon at right cornerback and Riq Woolen, a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie in 2022, at left cornerback. When Macdonald deployed his nickel defense in offseason practices, Witherspoon went inside as the slot corner and Josh Jobe was the right cornerback. The Seahawks signed Jobe to their practice squad late last August, two days after the Philadelphia Eagles released him. Seattle elevated him to the roster for games multiple times before the Seahawks signed him to their active roster in November. He played 65% of the Seahawks' defensive snaps last season. That showed how much they were in nickel with Witherspoon inside. The third, fourth and fifth cornerbacks are competitions heading into training camp. Veteran free-agent signee Shemar Jean-Charles, 2024 fifth-round pick Nehemiah Pritchett, 2024 free agents Damarion Williams and Tyler Hall are among those behind Witherspoon, Woolen and Jobe on the depth chart. Macdonald praised Hall on the field in minicamp for repeatedly being sound on his formation and play recognition in the coach's changing scheme. Hall, 26, has played in 31 NFL games over four seasons for the Falcons (in 2020) and Raiders ('21, '22 and '23). 'The guys that are with us right now kind of in that three, four, five spot is exciting,' Macdonald said. 'The guys are doing a great job, but go nail it this summer and come back and go compete your butt off.' Alexander is 28 years old. He was a starter for seven years in Green Bay, from his rookie season of 2018. The Packers selected him 18th overall in that year's NFL draft. His issue the last several years has been injuries. He's played in seven, seven and four games in three of the last four seasons, and in just 34 of a possible 68 regular-season games since the start of the 2021 season. He's had shoulder, knee, groin and back injuries. His 2024, and ultimately time with the Packers, ended after seven games because of a torn posterior ligament in his right knee. He tried to play through that before he needed season-ending surgery. Any team considering signing him will need to be convinced by its medical staff Alexander is healthy and recovered from the knee surgery from later last year. NFL reporter Josina Anderson said this week six teams made 'immediate inquiries' about Alexander, presumably to his agent, after the Packers released him.

Isaiah Simmons joined Packers because they had the "best plan" for him
In free agency, Isaiah Simmons had one simple question for interested teams. What is your plan for me? 'To me, it seemed like Green Bay had the best plan, was most excited about me and liked me,' Simmons said, via Bill Huber of Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is asking Simmons to do only one thing — play linebacker. Simmons replaced Quay Walker, who was injured, on the first-team defense, along with linebackers Isaiah McDuffie and Edgerrin Cooper, in the offseason practices. 'I think really what I ran into most of my career is everybody wants me to do everything as opposed to letting me get really good at one thing first,' Simmons said. 'I fully believe in Haf's plan. He's letting me just lock in and learn a small portion first before we even think about expanding to anything else. That's something I really appreciate because I never really had that opportunity to really just hone in on one position. 'That's been huge for me. It's something . . . that hasn't been presented to me because my versatility, I feel like it's a little bit of a gift and a curse, where they want you to do everything but, at the end of the day, I'm still a human.' With McDuffie, Cooper and Walker all returning, it's unknown how Walker fits into the Packers' plan at the position. He also has played in the slot, at safety and at edge rusher in his career with the Cardinals and Giants. No NFL team, though, has been able to tap into Simmons' success at Clemson when he won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker. He started only five games with the Giants the past two seasons, playing only 558 snaps on defense. 'I'm actually very grateful for New York for what they did,' Simmons said. 'They lit a fire under me, and I'm ready to go.'
