Eagles Acquire Jaire Alexander From Ravens in Rare Saturday Trade

The low-cost deal positions Philadelphia to keep shopping ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.

Overview

  • Philadelphia will receive Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Baltimore in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Adam Schefter.
  • The move was finalized on a Saturday, an uncommon in-season occurrence helped by the Ravens’ Thursday game and the Eagles’ bye week.
  • Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler, saw limited snaps in Baltimore after a preseason knee issue and recent healthy scratches.
  • The Eagles have expressed interest in Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson as they explore additional defensive upgrades before the deadline, per Dianna Russini.
  • Several teams, including the Rams, 49ers, Lions, Colts and Eagles, have called Cincinnati about Hendrickson and linebacker Logan Wilson, though some around the league doubt the Bengals will move core players.
