After being selected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, expectations are high for Matthew Golden. The former Longhorn is expected to be a key piece of the Packers passing attack. So far, he has made a good first impression with his new team.

With the decision now made to release the 28-year-old star cornerback, Alexander will finish his Green Bay career with 78 games played, 287 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 12 interceptions, a defensive touchdown, and 70 defended passes.

The Green Bay Packers have started mandatory minicamp , as all other NFL teams have. Last month, it was reported that Jaire Alexander and the team were working on a resolution that would bring the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback back to Green Bay.
