Is that unlimited? Regarding IR and three games? Can you do that any amount or just like five?
I wouldn't be surprised to see him on IR either. Next three games he's not that needed VS rest of season and playoffs and longterm.

Though if they normally do it on Saturdays (like they did for Dafney and MVS) to start it, and pick someone up the following week, so if they're going to put Alexander on the IR, we should be hearing about it today.
I think we have him through 2022 with the fifth year option. Someone will have to fact check me though. But if true, 2023 is when we should see big jump in salary cap. And no Aaron Rodgers soaking up 15-20% of it.

What the Packers have to figure before 2022 season is Rodgers, Cobb and Preston Smith contract situations, meaning either extend, release or trade those contracts, as they're currently written, I don't believe they're not likely to last. Also maybe figure out Z Smith contract depending on his back injury.
Packers 2022 FAs include (Note I'm not going to list the ERFAs, because they're cheaper contracts and Packers 100% keep them if they want them)
WR Adams
WR MVS
WR Lazard (RFA, so likely gets a one year tender like Tonyan did this year)
TE Tonyan
OG Patrick
OT Kelly
DT Lancaster
ILB Campbell
ILB Jaylon Smith
ILB Burks
CB King
CB Sullivan
CB Yiadom
CB Douglas (new CB we signed off Cardinals PS)
S Redmond
P Bojorquez (please resign)
LS Bradley
Clearly depth at receiver, ILB and CB will be hurt in the coming FA as we're tight on cap and can't resign guys. Possible OLB too with both OLB Smith contracts as possible need adjusting. And DL could be improved in general.
So I'm expecting a defensive draft with a receiver in the top 3 rounds and yes I know the draft isn't about needs, but it kinda is at least they often grab guys at needed positions the following year, especially after the first round.
