Jaire Alexander Acquired by Eagles, Roseman Believes in Career Revival

Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman discussed the acquisition of cornerback Jaire Alexander from the Ravens, expressing confidence in the 28-year-old's ability to revive his career. The Eagles sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to Baltimore for Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick. Alexander's impressive seven-year Packers career included 15 interceptions, 75 pass breakups, two Pro Bowls, and two 2nd-team All-Pro selections, but his Ravens tenure was brief (2 games, 61 snaps) and marked by injuries and declining play. Roseman cited Alexander's youth, current health, and the presence of Eagles CBs coach Christian Parker, who coached Alexander in Green Bay during his best seasons (2019-2020). Analytics show a decline from a 78.1 defender passer rating in his first five years to 102.2 in the last three. Alexander was limited by back and shoulder injuries in 2023 and quad and knee injuries in 2024, being a healthy scratch for seven of nine Ravens games before the trade.
