Overview

• Jaire Alexander joined the Ravens on June 18 under a one-year deal that includes a $4 million base salary and $2 million in performance incentives.
• Alexander turned down more lucrative offers elsewhere to reunite with his former Louisville teammate and chase a Super Bowl in Baltimore.
• The signing fills a key hole in the secondary after Brandon Stephens departed in free agency and addresses last season’s struggles in pass coverage.
• Adding Alexander outside enables Marlon Humphrey to slide into the slot alongside Nate Wiggins, creating a more versatile cornerback trio.
• Durability questions persist after Alexander played just 14 games over the past two seasons, making his availability crucial to the unit’s success.
