In response to the report, Alexander's father, Landis Alexander, fired back with a shot at the report and the team. He made it clear that his son was willing to discuss a pay cut, but was not willing to play nearly for free.

In a series of tweets, Landis Alexander, the father of former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, shed some light on why his son eventually ended up parting ways with the Packers. Last week, ahead of minicamp, Green Bay chose to release Alexander after contract negotiations failed to produce a deal that satisfied both sides.

The Green Bay Packers released two-time Pro Bowler and two-time second-team All-Pro Jaire Alexander on Monday, ending a seven-year relationship between player and team and allowing the veteran cornerback to pick his next team as a free agent.
