### **Should Ravens Pursue Jaire Alexander?**
Cornerback Jaire Alexander is on the open market after being released by the Green Bay Packers Monday, and the Ravens have been named a potential landing spot for the two-time Pro Bowler.
Injuries to his groin, back, shoulder, and knee have limited Alexander to a combined 14 games over the past two seasons, but the 28-year-old is one of the best cornerbacks in the league when healthy.
"This is another example of a team going all-in if the signing were to happen," [Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema wrote](https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-packers-release-jaire-alexander-potential-landing-spots?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=null). "The Ravens lost Brandon Stephens from last year's secondary but still have Marlon Humphrey to play inside and out, as well as second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins, who could be in for a big season after earning a 69.0 PFF coverage grade as a rookie with 11 forced incompletions. Baltimore signed Chidobe Awuzie to a one-year deal this offseason, but Alexander would be an upgrade over Awuzie's 62.4 and 58.3 PFF coverage grades over the past two seasons."
[CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/packers-release-jaire-alexander-top-landing-spots-for-oft-injured-star-cb-including-dolphins-49ers/) offered a similar opinion.
"We know the Ravens have a history of going after star contributors -- especially if they don't count against the compensatory pick formula, which Alexander wouldn't because he was released after June 1," Dubin wrote. "Baltimore signed Chidobe Awuzie earlier this offseason to play opposite 2024 first-rounder Nate Wiggins, but Alexander is the more talented player. Especially after the Ravens lost safety Ar'Darius Washington, which will affect their versatility on the back end, it would not be surprising if they were interested in adding another high-level defensive back. They're always looking for ways to keep their options open with how they deploy their personnel."
