Jaire Alexander's dad reveals the rift behind the Packers exit
Had the Green Bay Packers offered a contract comparable to what Jaire Alexander received from the Baltimore Ravens, the two-time Pro Bowler/Second-Team All-Pro is still rolling with the Cheeseheads. That's what Landis Alexander, Jaire's father, said during a recent appearance on KBN ESPN Milwaukee's Kyle, Brust, & Nortman show. It still seems surreal (or unreal). After seven seasons and some back and forth, Jaire was released by the only NFL team he had ever played for up until that point on June 9. He put pen to paper and agreed to a one-year deal in Baltimore that would pay him up to $6 million with incentives. That arrangement came nine days later. Advertisement The deal is done. Both sides have parted ways. Still, whenever a name as big as the one belonging to Jaire is tied to stories where contract negotiations seemingly spiral, questions are sometimes answered, and those were exactly the questions asked of Jaire's father during a 13-minute chat that has since seen a ton of discussion. Jaire Alexander's father offers some behind-the-scenes access to his son's exit from Green Bay and his arrival in Baltimore. What went wrong? Is it possible cooler heads could have prevailed? What exactly happened? Landis Alexander was gracious in answering all of the questions. In terms of the train veering off its tracks, it sounds like the culprit is what some might expect. Advertisement Jaire's team understood his injury history would impair negotiations, but they still hoped he'd be offered guaranteed money. Green Bay wasn't willing to offer any, and the rest, as they say, is history. Landis believes, based on the contract's structure, that a 'sign and trade' was what The Pack was attempting. He believes his son's teammates wanted to see him back in the fold. He also believes Green Bay believed they had given Jaire so much and that they were disappointed because he wasn't playing very often. "I get that part, but I don't like that narrative that was put out there (saying) we didn't want to take a pay cut. That's just ridiculous because, in business, you have to be available, not half the season. (The signing team wants) you out there. Injuries happen, and he's not able to do that. We get the fact that you don't want to pay ($17 million in guarantees), but we definitely don't want zero." Here's how we make long stories shorter. Often, these conversations come down to money. It was no different in this instance, but there is another twist here. Jaire may have been given some misinformation about his injury. The Ravens visit the Packers in Week 17. Naturally, the guys asked Landis if Jaire has that game circled on his calendar. The response was classy: "No... We love those guys. We love that team. We love that city"... Fair enough... But, something tells us Jaire absolutely has that game vs. his former team circled. How could he not, right?

Denver Nuggets owner admits thoughts of nightmare scenario involving a Nikola Jokic trade
As the 2025 NBA Draft approaches, teams are swinging trades like there's no tomorrow. Yet, the Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets haven't struck a deal. The Boston Celtics have been especially busy, trying to clear up their cap sheet for the future. Boston has gone all-in so they can build the strongest championship contender possible. While Boston's effort did deliver a championship ring, now they face an uncertain future, in part because of their spending. But it doesn't help that the face of the Celtics, Jayson Tatum, tore his Achilles in the Eastern Conference Finals, putting Boston's status as top contenders in doubt. Advertisement Meanwhile, Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke has been paying attention to what's transpired in Boston, and he fears a similar situation playing out in Denver, specifically when it comes to falling so far behind that they have no choice but to trade Jokic to get back to square one. 'The wrong person gets injured, and very quickly you're into a scenario that I never want to have to contemplate, and that's trading #15.' Denver Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke on trading Nikola Jokic While Kroenke admitted he never wants to have to contemplate a Jokic trade, it's a situation he has clearly thought about in the back of his head. Hopefully, for the sake of all basketball fans, the Nuggets don't have to go down that road, but the financial side of team-building is certainly something the NBA may have to take a closer look at.
