The Green Bay Packers have agreed to make Jaire Alexander the league's highest-paid defensive back.

The All-Pro cornerback will receive a $30 million signing bonus as part of a new four-year, $84 million contract.

Alexander's new deal averages $21 million per year, a new record for defensive backs.

He had previously been tied to the Packers for only this season on the fifth-year option to his rookie contract.

Mike McCarthy will make his return to Lambeau Field in Week 10 this season when the Dallas Cowboys travel to face the Green Bay Packers.

The NFL on Wednesday announced the Cowboys-Packers matchup for Nov. 13 ahead of the full 2022 schedule release.

McCarthy served as Green Bay coach for parts of 13 seasons and guided the Packers during their Super Bowl-winning 2010 season.
