Gutekunst signed quarterback Jordan Love to a contract worth $220 million over four years last training camp before Love had an inconsistent season, partly because of his own inaccuracies and sloppy footwork but also because of factors outside his control like injuries and offensive line play.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst wrapped up the season with a long press conference on Thursday at Lambeau Field. Here’s what he had to say about some key players with contract questions.

The Packers will be without their star cornerback, Jaire Alexander, as he was placed on the IR ahead of the playoffs.

The Green Bay Packers have a tough decision to make with cornerback Jaire Alexander. He missed basically half the games over the last four years with multiple injuries, and 2024 was an especially tough year with 10 missed games because of groin and knee injuries.

The Green Bay Packers lost their NFC Wild Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles 22-10 last week. Injuries played a big factor, and their top cornerback Jaire Alexander’s presence could’ve made a difference.
