Lamar Jackson’s Bold Move: Urges Ravens to Reunite with Ex-Packers Star Jaire Alexander—What’s Behind the Push?

You know, there’s something truly magnetic about old teammates reconnecting under fresh lights — especially when it’s a former college buddy aiming to make waves in the pros once again. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore’s dynamic quarterback, is doing just that this season. After Jaire Alexander’s sudden release from the Green Bay Packers, Jackson didn’t just sit on the sidelines; he made a public plea for his old Louisville comrade to join the Ravens. Picture this: a passionate quarterback dramatically dropping to his knees, urging general manager Eric DeCosta to “Go get him Eric!” — it’s a reunion story begging to unfold. Alexander, despite battling relentless injuries in recent years, remains a premier cornerback who could instantly solidify Baltimore’s shaky pass defense. Both players share a history from their Louisville days, and Jackson already reached out to Alexander, leaving fans and insiders buzzing over the potential impact this pairing could have. The question now isn’t if they want it — but whether the Ravens can make it happen before the season kicks off. LEARN MORE

Whether DeCosta and the Ravens listen to their quarterbacks wishes and strike a deal with Alexander, though, remains to be seen.

Alexander signed a four-year, million extension with the Packers in 2022, and he was due to make more than million in 2025. The Packers reportedly offered him a restructured deal, which would have led to a pay cut, but that was never finalized.Though they play on different sides of the ball, Jackson and Alexander spent three seasons together at Louisville from 2015-2017. Jackson, who won the Heisman Trophy after the 2016 season, was then selected by the Ravens with the No. 32 overall pick in 2018.
