Ravens Could Bolster Secondary With Former Packers Star

Per a report by Ian Rapoport on X, the Green Bay Packers are cutting their star cornerback, Jaire Alexander. Multiple teams could be interested in him, and the Baltimore Ravens could be one of them.

In a recent article by PFF's Trevor Sikkema, he lists six NFL teams who he thinks could be potential suitors for the two-time Pro Bowler, and one of the teams that he thinks could pursue him is the reigning AFC North champions.

"This is another example of a team going all-in if the signing were to happen," Sikkema wrote. "The Ravens lost Brandon Stephens from last year’s secondary but still have Marlon Humphrey to play inside and out, as well as second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins... Baltimore signed Chidobe Awuzie to a one-year deal this offseason, but Alexander would be an upgrade over Awuzie's 62.4 and 58.3 PFF coverage grades over the past two seasons."

The Ravens allowed the second-most passing yards in the league this past season, so a veteran like Alexander in their secondary could be exactly what the doctor ordered.

He has only played seven games each of the past two seasons as a result of some injuries, but his last full season in 2022 was very solid. He tallied up a solid 56 total tackles, as well as five interceptions, showing his ability to both wrap up offensive players and get to the ball in the air.

Baltimore is in prime position to contend for a Super Bowl in 2025, so adding Alexander could put the team over the top.
