- Lamar Jackson wants the Ravens to sign All-Pro CB and his former college teammate
The Green Bay Packers have parted ways with star defensive back Jaire Alexander after seven seasons, and Baltimore could be the perfect landing spot for the former Louisville cornerback. Alexander has developed into an All-Pro cornerback, but during his time with the Cardinals , he developed a tight bond with MVP candidate and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson .
Alexander has missed at least 10 games in three of his last four seasons, but he's still one of the best in the NFL when healthy.

During his Tuesday afternoon press conference, Jackson confirmed that he's spoken to his former college teammate and wants Ravens GM Eric DeCosta to "go get him".
Alexander played just seven games in 2024, marking the second straight season in which he missed at least ten games due to injury. This spring, general manager Brian Gutekunst told the media that Alexander's absences have been "tough on the player [and] tough on the organization," which signed the cornerback to an $84 million extension in 2022.
The addition of Alexander could allow Marlon Humphrey to remain in the slot comfortably.
