From the moment the Green Bay Packers Cornerback Jaire Alexander released, a Factation of Minnesota Vikings fans presented a free-agent relationship.
Fans hope that a controversial free agent would land with the Vikings, but he signed on Wednesday with the Baltimore Ravens.
And although that result remained possible for a week and a half, the Baltimore Ravens ended the mystery on Wednesday.
Alexander is a raven.
Jaire Alexander to the Ravens
Clifton Brown from Ravens.com broke the story on Wednesday.
He wrote“Lamar Jackson urged the ravens to sign Jaire Alexander, and the wish of the Franchise Quarterback has been granted. Alexander has signed Baltimore and Heerts the double Pro Bowler with Jackson, his friend and former teammate in Louisville.”
“The 28-year-old Alexander has been one of the topbacks of the NFL when he is healthy and is a physical player who is the challenge of covering top receivers. He will add experience and depth to the team’s cornerback group led by four-time Pro Bowler Marlon Humphrey and talented second-year Pro Wiggins.”
The Alexander Dream for Minnesota is dead dead. Alexander signed in Baltimore for a year and $ 6 million.
Brown added: “Alexander projects the outer cornerback to Wiggins, where Humphrey played considerably inside. Jackson said on Tuesday that he had spoken with Alexander since the packers released him on June 9, and the franchise Quarterback made it clear that Baltim would add him to their roster.”
Fans of Minnesota kept hope for Jaire Alexander
Alexander represented intrigues for Minnesota based on two reasons. In particular, he played for the packers, and the fan base is always delighted when a player such as Brett Favre, Ryan Longwell, Aaron Jones or Za’darius Smith exceeds state lines. So there was a hateful corner.
Then, and more importantly, Alexander would have made the schedule of Minnesota. Spectators take only one depth card weaknessed until mid-June, and that is the cornerback place.
Alexander could have eliminate the weakness.

What the ravens signs for the Vikings
Alexander Alternatives
Since Minnesota Alexander has not received from the Free Office, the team can pursue other angles. General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah still has alternative cornerback options on the open market. Players such as Mike Hilton, Jack Jones, Stephon Gilmore, Shaquill Griffin, Rasul Douglas, Asante Samuel Jr. And CJ Henderson has not signed free agency for three months.
There is also the persistent Jalen Ramsey -Handels option, although getting him from the Miami Dolphins would be expensive.
Media with ravhalia on Alexander
Ravenswire.com’s Glenn Erby WROthe About the possibility of Alexander to Baltimore on Tuesday: “After seven seasons, the Green Bay Packers broke up with Star Defensive Back Jaire Alexander, and Baltimore could be the perfect landing site for the former Louisville-Cornerback. Alexander has developed into an all-pro Cornerback with the Kardinals and Pet Band with the Kardinen and Kardinen and Pane and Kardinen and Kardinals Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson. “
“Alexander missed at least 10 games in three of his last four seasons, but he is still one of the best in the NFL when he is healthy. During his press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Jackson confirmed that he has spoken with his former college teammate and wants Ravens GM Eric Decosta” to get him. “Alexander played only seven games in 2024 and marked the second consecutive season in which he missed at least ten games due to an injury.”
Baltimore’s defense is in 11th place By EPA/Play in 2024.
“This spring, general manager Brian Gutekunst said the media that the absence of Alexander ‘was tough for the player and tough for the organization’, who signed the cornerback to an extension of $ 84 million in 2022. The addition of Alexander was able to keep Marlon Humphrey comfortable in the lock.”
Vikings fans were quick to deny the team on social media because they do not sign Alexander for his newly unveiled prize of $ 6 million.
