The Baltimore Ravens struck gold with the newest signing of former Green Bay Packers star cornerback Jaire Alexander. Alexander has been rumored to be either traded or released since the end of last season. The Packers decided that releasing the star defensive back was the best move for both sides. Weeks later, the Ravens got their guy. Lamar Jackson pitched Alexander to the Ravens to have the chance to land the star defensive back. The former MVP got his wish on Wednesday.

Alexander immediately makes the Ravens better as one of the best teams in the NFL already. They were close to making a Super Bowl run last season but could not get past the Buffalo Bills.

The deal for Alexander will be for just one season and can be up to $6 million, according to Jeremy Fowler.
