Eagles' Jaire Alexander Steps Away, Weighs Retirement 10 Days After Trade

The decision follows a recent low-cost trade to Philadelphia during his rehab from knee surgery.

Overview

  • Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported the move, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported he is contemplating retirement, and outlets including ESPN and CBS confirmed the development.
  • The 28-year-old informed the team on Tuesday, one day after he did not travel for the win over the Packers and was listed out as a knee/coach's decision.
  • Alexander has been recovering from January surgery following a 2024 PCL tear and appeared in only two games for the Ravens this season.
  • Philadelphia acquired him on Nov. 1 in a late-round pick swap, receiving Alexander and a 2027 seventh-rounder for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
  • The two-time All-Pro has yet to play for the Eagles, and the team retains his rights as his status and potential retirement remain unresolved.
