Lamar Jackson’s wish has come true. Just a few hours ago, the quarterback asked the Baltimore Ravens to sign Jaire Alexander, and now the team has confirmed on social media that the deal is done.
According to a report from Adam Scheffer, it’s a one-year deal. “Compensation update: Former Packers CB Jaire Alexander signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Ravens. He turned down more to be in Baltimore with his former college teammate, Lamar Jackson. Deal breakdown: It’s a one-year, $4 million deal with Jaire Alexander having the ability to earn $2 million more in incentives. $6 million max value.”
The Ravens know they need a competitive roster to beat the Chiefs and the Bills in the AFC, so the arrival of Alexander gives a massive boost to their Super Bowl chances.
Who did the Ravens just sign?
The Ravens have just signed cornerback Jaire Alexander. That means the star would reunite with his former Louisville teammate, Lamar Jackson. One of the biggest splashes in the NFL in recent months.
Less than ten days ago, the Green Bay Packers released Alexander, and now he has found a new team where he could finally win a championship. “Jaire here. I’m excited to be a part of the Ravens Flock. Let’s get to this.”
Additionally, in a video posted by the Ravens, Jackson appeared smiling next to Alexander during the signing of his contract. A very clear hint that, indeed, general manager Eric DeCosta listened to him.
