Huh? I thought we were in the playoff hunt? This makes no sense at all unless we are hoping to improve the draft picks. I am all for team discipline; but not when it hurts the whole team. Surely there were other ways of handling this.

What would the dead cap hit be?

I think it's about time some discipline happened on this team. It should not matter what time of the season it is. He was totally wrong and now he has to pay the price. This should speak volumes to the other players. They should discipline players for stupid personal fouls as well. Just my mho.

can they suspend Barry for conduct detrimental to winning?

Watch the tape of the Carolina game, and watch how he covered Justin Addison.. let’s not over state his absence. I’d rather have Valentine. Alexander is NOT interested in tackling any running backs, or receivers.

They should have suspended joe berry for destroying are playoff chances or better yet suspend matt lafraud for hiring this clown coordinator and retaining him .

I side with jaire he knows more about defense than both those clowns. Hope his agent demands a trade or he just fakes injuries going foward if they wont so he still gets paid.

Jaire got more stones then lafraud and murphy combined calling out malpractice by these two clowns

FREE JAIRE

Nothing surprises me from this mismanaged organization anymore!

Did Jaire do this on purpose? That should be the ONLY REASON for such a confusing management decision.

So if you make a big mistake you're suspended for a game in GB? Hmm. So how many games should Barry have been suspended for? I can't stop laughing over the Preston Smiith-Davante Adams coverage justification earlier in the season! Barry should have been suspended the rest of the season for that one!

But let's face it. There are 2 sets of rules in GB - one for incompetent coaches, the others for players. And LaFleur and Barry are most assuredly our sacred cows!

I've never heard of this happening before. I've never even considered it.

For his part, maybe he thought we'd be better off starting on defense both 1/2s because they were going to do so good and could generate better field position for the O?

Good, no player is above the team.

Packers choose not to send a message by changing DCs, but rather by "suspending" a player who came back from injury with a bum arm and can't tackle.

This is just bizarre. Not the suspension, the behavior. Next tier headcase behavior. I know CBs need to be built special mentally and have a short memory + swagger, but this was quite childish.

With pay or without pay?

I am not sure what the message sends by holding players more accountable than coaches. This hurts the team more than Jaire, and the other 51 guys put in too much work to have our best corner sit out because he "broke a rule" in a game that we won.

With pay is a slap on the wrist without pay is a good deserved kick in the nuts

About time they hold someone accountable around that organization.

I thought a little kid hearing my dad trashing the packers in 80's about how mismanaged they were was interesting since I was way to young to understand him .

Hearing my 10 yeard old daughter agreeing with her grandfather who is 87 laughing at the coaching staff today is truley a time travel experieince.

Clown show with lafraud Murphy and Gute is in full effect. At least Lynn Dickey had a sweet perm

Its Mutiny in Packer land... J Alexander is just another reason why the veterans on this team have had enough... D Campbell has had enough also and wants out. Front office MGT is failing, its long over due its time to clean house in the front office. Very sad what's going on in Packer Land...

On what team would it be okay for a player to appoint themselves Captain and participate in the coin toss to look good for hometown friends? More importantly, how much disregard and disrespect for leadership exists for *any* player to even think of doing something like that? It all starts with the HC. Good call by Gute on the suspension. LaFleur should have sat Ja immediately after the coin toss.

Look at this, ffs. How comfortable is this dude leading men?

I'm 100% agreed with this, except that maybe you suspend him for the last two games instead of just one. Jaire needs to pull his head out of his stupid a$$. You don't just announce yourself to be a captain, and then go out there and damn near screw everything up... especially when you haven't even been very valuable to the team at any time this season. Total bush league stuff. Hope he doesn't turn into a diva.

How much $ does he lose for being suspended 1 game if any?

Found out gentlemen
Alexander, the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL at $21 million per season, will lose one week's pay. However, because most of his money came in signing and roster bonuses, his base salary is only $1.08 million, meaning he will lose only $60,000 (his weekly game check) plus the $38,235 he has in weekly roster bonuses if he's active.

What does Alexander and Barry have in common? Neither one tackles anyone on the field

TRADE HIM.

Its not about him. Focus on the real problem. Gutt the genius picked this guy and he like Stokes have two things in common, both are dumber then a chia pet and neither likes contact of any kind. this isnt about Jairre this is about a GM who is fn making terrible decisions with good picks and not improving this team a lick. Gary at 15 when he was projected a mid second or early third round pick. Watson in the second round when he played at U never heard of U. Wyatt in the first when he wasnt even near the best player at GA.
Gutt totally fd up your football team. Giving the farm to Bakt when he was turning 31? Who the f does that?

Good move with the suspension. Alexander thinks rules don't apply to him and that he is above everyone else. It should have come from the head coach, not the GM though. LaFleur has no stones to confront anyone. We all know he was afraid of Rodgers. The last two years JA has been all mouth and no play. He is afraid to tackle and has quit the team. The young DBs are playing hard and aggressive when allowed to. Cut the dead wood from the team after the next two games, and that includes Bakhtiari. Hoping for all new coaching staff in 2024 to lead this young team with a lot of promise.

Matt Lafraud same ole bullshit answers in his press conference and just won’t be truthful about his and his DC’s decisions

Elite DB players can cover and tackle consistently. Alexander is almost half elite. He is great at coverage when he feels like it. Never has been able to tackle properly nor with any consistency.

I’m sure someone has already mentioned it, but why didn’t MLF take action against Alexander??

Shouldn’t the HC be a strong enough leader to suspend a player?

I'm gonna need all of you who believe this is just about Jaire making himself a captain in Carolina and almost messing up the coin toss to be at my poker table this weekend. That is some prime level gullible shit.

Well deserved! He isn't above the rules. The TEAM appointed 3 captains and he wasn't one so boohoo deal with it young man! His performance in the game should be an extra fine for not committing to a tackle or playing ten yards off a guy when it was man defense. Jaire is playing like he is better than the team. Maybe they should have traded him and kept Rasul

He got toasted against Minnesota last time, and he didn’t look interested in making any physical contact against Carolina.
I’ll take Valentine over this overrated moron.

He’s not the same player anymore trade or cut him if possible.

If he wanted to show off so much to his family and friends in Carolina then by all means get the deal done and trade him, to Carolina. Carolina or some other bottom dwelling franchise who wants to "improve" their secondary. I don't think the rebuild will miss him all that much based on his current level of play. Shop him.

Coaches don't get paid anywhere near the amount of money that the star players get. Most players don't get paid the amount of money that star players get. Sometimes you have to crack the discipline for the greater good of the overall team. Something that comes with making millions is usually keeping one's mouth shut and trying not to do stupid shit. Leaders are supposed to set the example for the younger players to color within the lines, not to do what you want.

The DC will have his accountability reckoning day coming soon. But that problem is just one problem and should not be used as an excuse for other undesirable behavior(s) from subordinates. Clark, Gary, and P Smith are all paid very well as defensive players. So far, they get it. You don't get any of this stupid shit from them and the organization is probably happy with that.

Ok,, and this is from the mouth of LaFleur, he goes to the refs pregame and tells them exactly what he wants, which is why the ref corrected Alexander and asked if he didnt mean 'defer" Theres a bunch of irritated vets on the defensive side of the ball. We got a sound off from Douglas, and next thing, he shuffled off to Buffalo Then we have noise made by Campbell, and Alexander sits games after practicing the week before Now he is suspended for a mistake that wouldn't have mattered anyway, since the coach already told the refs what he wanted on the coin toss win Barry has lost control of this group, and though his ass backwards defensive schemes have cost us several games, he still has a job. GOPACKGO, SHOW BARRY THE 'DO.....

Another player signs a fat contract and turns into a douche bag diva. Seems to be a trend.

I'm good with the whole deal. Aren't the Captains voted on by the players?
If so, Alexander just walking out there after sitting on his ass for six weeks is an insult to his teammates, and he got what he deserved, or maybe not enough. Too bad they can't recover about 2/3 of the $22M (average) salary he's overpaid.
Last week it was Campbell and Savage, this week it's Alexander, there's something bigger than what we know going on. The players know what we know, that Barry just sucks, and I think they've just quit on him. I don't know that I could completely blame them.
Now IF LaFleur is able to save his job through all this, I hope he's learned from it. You can't keep horseshit coaches, and you NEVER, EVER throw your players under the bus. Duh!

What is it about Green Bay that guys have some success and make some money then promptly turn into selfish diva wackjobs? If Jaire isnt interested in being part of the solution, then hes part of the problem and should be shown the door at the earliest possible convenience.

Pete Dougherty says the Packers should consider trading him, according to his column on December 29, 2023.
