00:00But we just had breaking news from Ian Rappaport.

00:03This one I'm curious about.

00:06Rap sheet sources.

00:07The Packers have had trade conversations

00:10centered around star cornerback Jair Alexander,

00:14and they're open to moving him for the right price.

00:16Alexander still just 28 and a two time pro bowler

00:19is considered to be the most decorated cornerback available.

00:23I'm going to pull up the contract details here, B,

00:26but are you surprised by this one?

00:29I mean, yeah, he's a hell of a player.

00:32I don't think he was a problem for him unless they just don't want to

00:36get into that money way, maybe are commanding soon.

00:41Well, I don't I am curious.

00:45So like we see a lot of times, there's no guarantees on the on the deal left.

00:49Right. That's the problem.

00:50He got eight mil last year, but he just signed a four year extension.

00:56Um, I think he was drafted in 18, I think.

01:03So he signed this extension.

01:06His cap number is 25 mil.

01:09But there's no guarantee attached to it.

01:12Still, if if you release him with a post June one designation,

01:16you do get a pretty big cap savings.

01:20This this strikes me kind of similarly to

01:24what surprises me about the Max Crosby contract.

01:28They have not only one year with no guaranteed money left on it.

01:31They have two years with no guaranteed money left on these things.

01:34Yeah. And if they don't do anything this year,

01:36they will definitely have to do something next year.

01:38Well, dude, I think when you are a Jair Alexander or Max

01:42Crosby, who are among the best in the league at that position,

01:46maybe not the best, but among the best.

01:50I don't think you're playing with no guarantees.

01:52Now, Alexander's been hurt the last two years.

01:54That is dramatically impacted this.

01:56Right. He's played two games.

01:58He's played 14 games over the last two seasons.

02:01So maybe Green Bay is just looking as a math equation like, listen, dude,

02:05if you're going to be hurt all the time and there's no guarantees,

02:08it might be time for us to get off this thing.

02:11I personally, looking at this from a Washington perspective,

02:16don't think the commanders get involved.

02:19They just spent a lot of draft capital to get a corner.

02:23I don't see it happening again.

02:25Do you agree? Yeah, I do.

02:29I think they know that they got to go up and get up front better.

02:34Yeah, it might make the guys behind even better

02:37than what they what they shown they could be.

02:39Yeah, man, I think for for Washington,

02:43you got to get better in the trenches and you just spent

02:47a bunch of draft capital to get a stud corner.

02:49I don't I don't think you're looking to do that again.
