Charlotte native Jaire Alexander is a free agent, and the Carolina Panthers may be in a perfect position to bring the Pro Bowl cornerback home.

On Monday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers released two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander. Unable to come to terms on a compromise for the final two years and $37 million of their contract, the two sides officially parted ways right before the start of the team's mandatory minicamp.

Alexander grew up in the Charlotte area and the Panthers are still rather thin at cornerback as they enter mandatory minicamp.
