Baltimore, MD — In what could become one of the biggest power moves of the NFL offseason, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has confirmed that he’s personally recruiting former Green Bay Packers All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander to join the Ravens defense. The recruitment, which Jackson revealed during a recent media appearance, has sent shockwaves through the NFL community, igniting speculation about the team’s growing ambitions for a Super Bowl run in 2025.
“I’ve been talking to Jaire, for real,” Jackson said. “We’ve had some good conversations. He knows what we’re building here in Baltimore. I’ve even spoken to [GM] Eric DeCosta about how big of a move that would be for us.”
Jackson, already the reigning league MVP and the face of one of the most dynamic offenses in football, is clearly looking beyond the regular season. With the Ravens already boasting a dominant defensive line and fast-rising secondary, the addition of Jaire Alexander—widely regarded as one of the top shutdown corners in the league—would vault Baltimore’s defense to elite status.
Sources close to the organization indicate that talks between Jackson and Alexander have been ongoing for weeks. While no official visit or contract negotiations have been reported yet, insiders say there is serious mutual interest. Alexander, who reportedly wants a fresh start after a turbulent end to his time in Green Bay, would likely welcome the chance to compete with a title contender.
Ravens fans are buzzing at the possibility. Social media exploded with support after Jackson’s comments were made public, with hashtags like #JaireToBaltimore and #PurpleReign trending on X (formerly Twitter). Many fans see this move as the final puzzle piece that could push the Ravens over the top and into Super Bowl glory.
Jackson’s proactive role in team-building is also earning praise from analysts and former players alike. “This is what you want to see from your franchise quarterback,” said former Ravens legend Ed Reed. “He’s not just leading on the field—he’s building a dynasty off it.”
Eric DeCosta, known for pulling off aggressive and savvy offseason moves, has remained tight-lipped about the potential signing. However, the team’s cap space and recent departures in the secondary suggest they could be setting the table for a blockbuster acquisition. If Alexander lands in Baltimore, it could be one of the most significant defensive signings in recent franchise history.
As training camps approach, all eyes will be on whether Lamar’s efforts pay off. The idea of pairing Jaire Alexander with Pro Bowl safety Kyle Hamilton and emerging cornerback Brandon Stephens is tantalizing. Add that to a pass rush led by Justin Madubuike and Odafe Oweh, and the Ravens defense could easily become the most feared unit in the AFC.
If Jaire Alexander does don the purple and black this fall, Lamar Jackson may have just pulled off his most important assist yet—and it didn’t even require a touchdown pass.
