Overview

• Jackson publicly lobbied GM Eric DeCosta to pursue Alexander at a June 17 minicamp press conference.
• Alexander became a free agent on June 9 when the Packers released him, creating over $17 million in cap space.
• The former Louisville teammates share a close bond and Jackson’s earlier endorsements brought Odell Beckham Jr. and DeAndre Hopkins to Baltimore.
• Baltimore’s secondary ranked 27th in passing yards allowed last season, and Alexander’s Pro Bowl pedigree could bolster the unit alongside Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins.
• Durability questions surround Alexander after he missed at least ten games in three of the past four seasons due to quadriceps and knee injuries.
