Jaire Alexander Sends Message to Ravens Fans

Jackson made his feeling clear about Alexander when speaking to reporters Tuesday. He admitted he had already reached out to his former college teammate of three years, calling him his "boy."

"Go get 'em, Eric!" Jackson said. "I love all our corners, don't get me wrong, but go get 'em Eric!"

The Packers released Alexander on June 9 in a move that cleared $17.1 million in cap space for Green Bay. He had spent all seven career seasons with the team before landing with the Ravens.

In 78 career regular-season games (76 starts), Alexander has tallied 287 total tackles (241 solo), 1.5 sacks, four fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, 70 pass breakups, 12 interceptions and one touchdown.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said recently that the team would be open to adding a new cornerback to the roster at some point this offseason. That has now come in the form of Alexander.

"I don't look at it as an 'or.' I look at it as an 'and,'" Harbaugh told reporters. "Yes, we are happy with the guys we have, and I'm very confident those guys are all going to do well. And we turn over every stone. We're always interested in anything you see on the waiver wire or anything else."

Alexander will now look to get acclimated with his new Ravens teammates as mandatory minicamp rolls on.
