Ravens Bolster Defense with Jaire Alexander Acquisition
The Baltimore Ravens have made a strategic move by incorporating the experienced cornerback Jaire Alexander, coming from the Green Bay Packers. This acquisition promises to strengthen the team’s defense with a high-caliber and versatile player.
The official announcement was made on Wednesday, although the details of the agreement were not revealed. Sources indicate that Alexander signed a one-year contract worth 6 million dollars.
This signing comes nine days after Alexander was released by the Packers, ending his seven-year run in Green Bay.
Alexander, 28, arrives after two injury-affected seasons, in which he only participated in 14 games. The two-time Pro Bowl selection joins a Ravens secondary that already includes Marlon Humphrey, also a four-time Pro Bowl selection, and Nate Wiggins, a second-year starter at the cornerback position.
If Alexander manages to secure a starting position as an outside cornerback alongside Wiggins, the Ravens could keep Humphrey in his preferred position as the main slot cornerback.
Alexander, selected in the first round of the 2018 draft by the Packers, was a teammate of Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson at the University of Louisville.
