BREAKING: Ravens Land Pro‑Bowl CB Jaire Alexander 🟣⚫️

In a seismic move for their secondary, the Baltimore Ravens have officially signed former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander to a one-year deal reportedly worth $4 million base, with up to $6 million in performance incentives .

🏈 Why this is a game-changer:

• Elite talent reunited: A two-time Pro Bowler and two-time second-team All‑Pro, Alexander is a lockdown cornerback when healthy, giving opposing QBs a sub‑75 passer rating allowed since 2020
• Jack‑Alexander connection: Reuniting with his former college teammate Lamar Jackson strengthens both on-field chemistry and locker room morale. Jackson was the first to welcome him aboard, even personally calling on GM Eric DeCosta to “go get him” .
• Secondary reinforcement: He joins a potent secondary that includes Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, safeties Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks—potentially creating one of the most feared secondaries in football

📋 Contract & availability

• Signed: June 18, 2025
• Contract: $4 M base + $2 M in likely incentives
• Offset: Signed days after being released by the Packers on June 9, following injuries (just 14 games over two seasons) and a relationship breakdown in Green Bay

🔍 The big picture

• Health concerns: Alexander’s limited game action (7 games in both 2023 and 2024) underscores ongoing durability risks. But the upside is undeniable when he’s on the field.
• Super Bowl intent: This move signals Baltimore’s all‑in approach for 2025 as they aim to convert a 12‑5 season and another playoff appearance into a championship push
• Smart investing: With just a one‑year, incentive‑laden deal and no long‑term guarantees, the addition offers high upside with manageable cap risk .

Looking ahead

If Alexander can stay healthy, he may anchor Baltimore’s boundary defense and shut down top-tier opposing receivers. At worst, he’s a high-upside rotational piece with veteran savvy and championship pedigree.

Lamar Jackson said it best after the signing:

“My boy… go get him, Eric.”
With Alexander in purple and black, the Ravens are now ready to lock down the AFC’s air space.
