Sean McVay downplays the Rams' interest in Jaire Alexander, citing respect for the player but hinting the team may move in a different direction.

The Green Bay Packers released two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander on Monday, and following his departure, the team moved wide receiver Bo Melton to the cornerback position. Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Melton impressed the Packers on special teams and that coaches were open to seeing him play on the defensive side of the ball.

Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst believes the Packers have more cornerback depth than most NFL teams even after releasing two-time Pro Bowl selection Jaire Alexander.But that didn’t stop them from exploring creative ways to boost that position as they opened their minicamp Tuesday.
