Overview

• On June 18, the Ravens signed cornerback Jaire Alexander to a one-year contract with a $4 million base and up to $2 million in incentives.
• Alexander chose Baltimore over higher offers to reunite with college teammate Lamar Jackson, who publicly urged GM Eric DeCosta to acquire him.
• The signing fills a gap created by Brandon Stephens’s departure by strengthening the outside cornerback spot alongside Nate Wiggins and enabling Marlon Humphrey to move inside.
• When healthy, Alexander has been a top cover corner, earning two Pro Bowl selections and an 89.5 Pro Football Focus coverage grade over the past three seasons.
• His recent injury history—just 14 games played over the last two seasons—makes the prove-it contract a low-risk move for the Ravens.
