Lamar Jackson and Jaire Alexander have been friends since they played together at Louisville, and Jackson would love a reunion with the Ravens.
Jackson said he has spoken to Alexander since the Green Bay Packers released the former Pro Bowl cornerback earlier this month. If Alexander were to sign with the Ravens, Jackson would be thrilled.
"Go get him, Eric," Jackson said, referring to General Manager Eric DeCosta. "I love all our corners, don't get me wrong. But go get him, Eric."
Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins are the Ravens' top two cornerbacks, though Humphrey may play most of his snaps as the nickel cornerback. Chidobe Awuzie, who was signed this offseason, would be the other outside cornerback.
The Ravens also have Jalyn Armour-Davis, second-year player T.J. Tampa, and sixth-round rookies Bilhal Kone and Robert Longerbeam, among others, competing for roles. However, Alexander is a two-time Pro Bowler who is available.
Veteran cornerback Jalen Ramsey is also reportedly on the trade block with the Miami Dolphins. Last week, Head Coach John Harbaugh did not rule out the possibility of Baltimore adding a veteran corner, while not commenting on anyone specifically.
"Yes, we are happy with the guys we have, and I'm very confident those guys are all going to do well, "Harbaugh said. "And we turn over every stone. We're always interested in anything you see on the waiver wire or anything else."
