The Packers have begun trade talks involving Jaire Alexander and are ready to transfer the star cornerback if offered the right price, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler, is one of the most accomplished cornerback who is currently on the trade market, Rapoport emphasized. With two years, $37 million left on his contract, and Packers General Manager noncommittal about him, his future in Green Bay is uncertain. “We’ll see,” Gutekunst said on Jan. 16 when asked if Jaire Alexander would be on the team in 2025. “We’re working through that. He certainly could be. But we’ll work through that as we go.”

It doesn’t seem like Lions General Manager Brad Holmes is willing to make a big splash this offseason. While Detroit has been linked to star pass rushers in trade and free agency, Holmes was direct when asked at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine if he planned to add another: “Probably not.” His response followed his comments on how hard it is to find talented edge rushers, especially after losing Aidan Hutchinson mid-season to a fractured leg. “It’s hard. There’s not a lot of those guys available,” Brad Holmes said. “And so just because we lost a star pass rusher due to injury, that doesn’t mean that other teams are going to say, ‘Hey, we have a star pass rusher. I know you lost one, but we have one. Would you like to have this one?’ “No, that’s a star pass rush for that team, and they’re trying to win games. So, and it’s not just a trade deadline, it’s, you know, free agency, during the year. Those guys are hard to find, you know, that’s why it’s called a premium position. Those guys are hard to acquire, and it’s hard to keep them financially, you know. Again, we have one that’s due for an extension, and we’ve already kind of gotten to the planning stages about him already. So when you talk about adding another one, it’s like, well, alright, can you financially add another one? Because you want to add the other one on top of everything else that you have, and that makes it tough.”

It doesn’t seem like Travis Kelce is done yet. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is expected to return for his 13th NFL season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The news comes Chiefs GM Brett Veach’s comments at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he said Kelce is “fired up” about coming back. Kelce is already recognized as one of the greats and he’s set to break more records in 2025. “We left it as, he’d be back and we’re excited to get him back and get him going,” Veach told reporters. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid also expressed confidence in a Travis Kelce return during a Tuesday inteview with NFL Senior National Columnist Judy Battista. “I think it will all work out. But I’m big on that, I’m big on stepping away,” Reid said. “I mean, Trav is positive. There’s no negative to it. But step back and get yourself away from it. … You just think clearer. We obviously hope he’s coming back. He’s been positive in that direction. We’ll cross all that here next week or so.”
