"The Ravens signed Alexander to a one-year, $4 million contract on June 18 in a move that reunited him with his former Louisville teammate Lamar Jackson and added a fifth former first-round pick to the Baltimore secondary. But Alexander missed a chunk of training camp with a knee injury and then struggled in the Ravens' fourth-quarter collapse of season-opening 41-40 loss in Buffalo."
"The Philadelphia secondary has some really strong pieces led by Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean but has not landed on a solution for the outside corner spot opposite Mitchell. The Eagles acquired Michael Carter III earlier in the week. Carter has played mostly at nickel over his career, creating the prospect that DeJean could move outside full-time should Carter land a starting gig. DeJean has played outside in base packages this season with either Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo playing outside in subpackages."
Jaire Alexander was traded from the Baltimore Ravens to the Philadelphia Eagles, with Baltimore receiving a 2026 sixth-round pick while sending Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Philadelphia. Alexander, 28, played in only two of Baltimore's eight games this season for a total of 61 snaps, recording no interceptions or passes defensed and being a healthy scratch five times. He signed a one-year, $4 million contract in June, missed part of training camp with a knee injury, and struggled in the season-opening collapse in Buffalo. The Eagles project Alexander as a candidate for increased playing time amid adjustments in their outside cornerback spots.
