Baltimore has signed two time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander after the Packers released him June 9, the team announced. Alexander signed a one-year deal worth $6 million in total, a source told Jeremy Fowler. A lot of the incentives have to do with playing time and amount of snaps played, which make sense for Alexander’s situation.
Alexander, who is only 28, became one of the NFL’s best corners over seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers. However, his biggest issue is he has battled several injuries and appeared in only 14 games over the past two seasons.
The signing of the two-time All-Pro comes a day after Jackson publicly asked Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta to bring in Alexander, a former college teammate of Jackson’s at Louisville.
“Go get him, Eric,” Jackson told reporters Tuesday.
A visibly excited Jackson welcomed Alexander at the Ravens’ facility. Hearing Jackson say this makes you wonder how far into the weeds a deal already was.
Alexander registered two interceptions (including a pick 6) in seven games in 2024 while allowing an 86.9 passer rating on 30 targets, according to Football Reference. He also had seven pass breakups.
Adding to the cornerback position was a priority for the Ravens this offseason, as they look for a new starter to line up with Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey. Baltimore signed Chidobe Awuzie in March and used a sixth-round pick on Bilhal Kone in April. The club also drafted safety Malaki Starks 25th overall.
This Ravens team is truly trying to capitalize on how good of a roster they have. With eyes set on the Super Bowl, it will be interesting to watch and see if this is the seasons the Ravens can make the big game.
