On Monday morning, the Green Bay Packers parted ways with star cornerback Jaire Alexander and his four-year, $84 million contract after seven seasons.
The decision to move off Alexander was expected, but not being able to find a trade partner was a shock.
Alexander has been one of the best corners in the NFL, but has struggled with staying healthy over the last two years, appearing in only 14 games.
Now that Alexander is a free agent, a lot of teams will be looking to sign him, and Jared Dubin from CBS Sports thinks the Cowboys should try to sign him.
"Dallas has a lot of potential answers in the secondary aside from Daron Bland, but none of them is a guarantee and a bunch of them are injured," Dubin wrote. "Trevon Diggs is working his way back from his second major injury. Third-round pick Shavon Revel is recovering from an ACL tear. Trade acquisition Kaiir Elam hasn't lived up to his first-round draft billing. Alexander is obviously another potential injury risk, but at his best, he would be by far Dallas' best option."

The Cowboys made a huge move at the start of May when they traded for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, and now they can make another splash by signing Alexander.
