Eagles acquire two-time Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander in trade with Ravens

The Ravens shipped two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander up to Philadelphia on Saturday, the Eagles confirmed. Baltimore traded Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick. After signing a one-year contract for $6 million with the Ravens back in June, Alexander graced the field for Baltimore just twice this season. Prior to his stint in Baltimore, Alexander spent eight seasons with the Packers, who drafted the cornerback with the No. 18 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. During his time in Green Bay, Alexander, 28, made it to the Pro Bowl twice (2020, ’22) while also earning All-Pro second team honors those same seasons. The Eagles are searching for pieces to bolster their defense to close out the season, with the team trading for Jets cornerback Michael Carter II on Wednesday. The Saturday swap comes just two days after the Ravens posted a commanding 28-6 bounce-back win over the Dolphins on Thursday, lifting them to a 3-5 record on the year. It marked their second straight win, with the Ravens besting the Bears on Oct. 26. Those back-to-back wins for the Ravens came after four straight grueling losses, two of which were in the absence of superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was battling a hamstring injury. When Jackson was rehabbing, the Ravens violated the NFL’s injury report policy by listing the former MVP as a “full participant” during last Friday’s practice before Week 8’s win, despite him doing reps with the scout team. The league fined Baltimore $100,000 for its blunder, saying that the team did so out of “negligence” and “not an attempt to gain a competitive advantage,” per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Baltimore fully complied with the NFL’s investigation, saying in a statement that the team made an “error.” “It is critical that the Baltimore Ravens always operate with integrity and in full accordance with NFL guidelines,” the statement read. “We clearly made an error regarding player injury reporting and cooperated transparently with the league’s investigation. “We accept the decision by the NFL that we violated the policy and have taken steps to ensure that we will be compliant moving forward.”
