Jaire Alexander to the Ravens

Great fit and solid addition by DeCosta.

Former Louisville teammate of Lamar. Easy recruiting job.

I thought last season the Ravens and Eagles had the best teams in the League. Nothing has changed in my eyes. Solid move.
They at some point will have to pass the ball….

Losing Zay Flowers was a big difference in that Buffalo game. Their passing game was much better than you may think.

Mark Andrews mistakes in the Buffalo game overshadow how steady a player he has been for Lamar and their franchise. And he is their 2nd best TE IMO. Likely is a weapon.

Lamar looked much better as a passer and player last season. I thought it was his best season of his career and MVP/co-MVP worthy. He has to tighten things up in the playoffs (the two turnovers in the 1st half against Buffalo were unacceptable).
 
Good deal for the Ravens. Good landing zone for Alexander to try to get one more big bag.
Let's be honest. Since he wasn't coming to Dallas, this is kind of good for us also. Keeps him away from the NFC and the NFCE in particular. Heck, we don't even play Baltimore this season
 
1 year, $6m? Nice. Remember this if we trot out Bland, Carson, and Elam as the corners week 1. Seemed like a no Brainerd. Oh well...
 
When you are an organization serious about football, you are constantly looking to upgrade your team.

When players respect the organization & the commitment to winning, they are willing to give up a little to sign there.

We have neither. How I envy fans of teams like the Ravens.
also when one of your best friends is the qb

Lamar I’m not concerned with. It’s when they need a big play what receiver is going to give it to them? Can’t rely on tight ends and a smallish Zay.
 
For him it would make more sense to to go to a team without a Diggs and a Bland...Bland seems to be putting up a fight about playing nickel .
Yes, in addition, while they provide more questions than answers at the moment, if you want guys like Elam, Carson and Revel to eventually become something, they need to play.

Not sure why anyone expected Alexander to come here anyway, and it does seem as if they have some sort of understanding with Gilmore.

Corner isn’t a great strength by any means, but it’s also not among the larger problems IMO.
 
I'm ok with Jerry passing on Alexander. We already have several guys dealing with or coming off injuries that may miss all or parts of this season.

Completely agree.
