Ravens sign CB Jaire Alexander to 1-year deal
June 18 - The Baltimore Ravens added former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander to their roster.
Alexander signed his contract on Wednesday, but the Ravens didn't share any details. According to ESPN, it's a one-year deal with a base value of $4 million, plus $2 million in incentives.
Multiple outlets reported he turned down other opportunities for a chance to play with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, his teammate in college at Louisville.
The Packers released the two-time All-Pro cornerback on June 9 amid a contentious relationship between the two parties. The Packers were seeking to restructure his contract, frustrated over his lack of availability. Alexander, 28, appeared in just 14 games over the past two seasons combined.
He had skipped the team's in-person, voluntary workouts this offseason but was expected to be at the mandatory minicamp but the Packers opted to let him go before the start.
Last season, he didn't play after Week 11, contending he was injured, though he did participate in some practices. In 2023, shoulder and knee injuries -- along with a one-game team suspension -- that limited his availability.
The team attempted to trade him this offseason to no avail.
The Packers selected Alexander in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Alexander was a second-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl selection in both 2020 and 2022. Over seven seasons, he appeared in 78 games (76 starts) with Green Bay.
He has 12 career interceptions with a high of five in 2022. He also recorded three picks in seven playoff appearances.
