Eagles Acquire Pro Bowl CB Jaire Alexander from Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have traded cornerback Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick. Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler who previously spent seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers, has only played two games for the Ravens this season due to injuries and depth chart decisions. The Eagles, who hold a 6-2 record and are defending Super Bowl champions, have bolstered their secondary by also acquiring Michael Carter II from the Jets, creating a crowded and flexible defensive backfield. While Alexander's fit in Philadelphia remains uncertain, he is expected to provide depth and potentially compete for snaps with the struggling Adoree’ Jackson. The Ravens, meanwhile, seem content moving on after acquiring defensive back Alohi Gilman and appear to be focusing on other roster areas despite remaining in contention for the AFC North. Both teams made these moves for different strategic reasons: the Eagles aiming to strengthen their defense depth, and the Ravens seeking draft pick upgrades and roster flexibility.
