Episode description
Craig welcomes Greg Matzek, Sports Director and Host for 620WTMJ & ESPN Milwaukee, to break down the Packers' surprising decision to release two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander. Greg explains how contract issues and Alexander’s injury history—missing 20 games over the last two seasons—played major roles in Green Bay’s move. He also shares insight into Alexander’s on-field demeanor, likening him to Jimmy Butler: when engaged, he’s elite—but the buy-in has to be there.
