The Green Bay Packers are on the verge of a significant overhaul in their secondary, potentially trading Jaire Alexander as they assess their cornerback options this offseason. With Eric Stokes heading to free agency and solid performances from Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, the Packers are eyeing Paulson Adebo from the New Orleans Saints. At just 25, Adebo has shown his potential with 10 interceptions and 43 passes defensed over four seasons. His performance metrics highlight his value; in 2023, he achieved a 78.6 grade from Pro Football Focus while allowing a completion rate of 56.8%, showcasing his ability to fit into the Packers' defensive scheme.

Despite a broken femur that cut short his 2024 season, Adebo's prior stats, including three interceptions in just seven games, suggest he can bolster the Packers' defense. Financially, he presents a more affordable option compared to other free-agent corners like Charvarius Ward. Trading Alexander could free up cap space, allowing Green Bay to redirect resources for enhancing both the secondary and other positions, ensuring their competitive edge heading into 2025.
