Jaire Alexander has signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Ravens, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The former Packers defensive back was released by the team on June 9, after the two sides could not come to a deal on a restructured contract. He now joins his former Louisville teammate, Lamar Jackson, in Baltimore.
Alexander is a two-time All-Pro selection who missed most of last season with a knee injury. He will be added to a Ravens secondary that includes Pro Bowlers Marlon Humphrey and Kyle Hamilton.

Alexander established himself as one of the best defensive backs in the NFL early in his career, and by 2020, was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was named a second-team All Pro. In 2022, he appeared in all 16 games and had a career-high five interceptions.
In 2023 however, Alexander missed significant time with back and shoulder injuries, and he was suspended for one game for representing the team as a captain without permission before a Week 16 game against the Panthers. The defensive back also injured his knee in 2024 and missed Green Bay's final 10 games.

Alexander is now reportedly set to make $6 million if he hits all of his incentives, but he likely has his eyes set on securing a long-term deal in 2026 if he performs well for the Ravens.
