When a two-time Pro Bowler hits the market, the ripple effect is immediate, and Jaire Alexander’s case is no different. Now a marquee name in free agency, Alexander wasn’t searching for a landing spot—contenders were lining up for his services. Yeah, you read that right. Las Vegas Raiders supporters chimed in—59% in a fan poll said Alexander would be a perfect fit in Vegas.
Over in San Francisco, insiders noted how the Niners quietly circled his name after freeing up cap space. It’s not a frenzy yet, but the league’s antennae are definitely up. To spice things up, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Carolina Panthers might be interested in signing the veteran cornerback. “Carolina is interested in Jaire Alexander, and there are other teams that are offering him more many than Baltimore can..,” Schefter reported.
Long story short: a handful of playoff hopefuls see Alexander as an immediate secondary life. But it looks like John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens just entered the chat. Recently, Lamar Jackson didn’t mince words when asked about Alexander’s availability in free agency. “Go get him, Eric,” Jackson said, referring to General Manager Eric DeCosta. “I love all our corners, don’t get me wrong. But go get him, Eric.”
Lamar and Alexander have been friends since their time at Louisville, and no wonder the two-time MVP wanted a lovely reunion in Baltimore. And it looks like the Ravens are planning to make that happen. Why? Well, on Wednesday, Ari Meirov of the NFL Spotlight reported that the “Ravens are signing CB Jaire Alexander.” Yep, you read that right. And just like that, Lamar Jackson’s wish was granted.
