BALTIMORE, MD - The Baltimore Ravens have signed veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander to a one-year deal worth up to six million dollars. The move reunites him with former Louisville teammate Lamar Jackson and strengthens a Ravens defense looking to take the next step after another early playoff exit.
But in the 2K Online Franchise, this signing marks the end of a legacy. After spending two decades with the Green Bay Packers, Alexander now heads to Baltimore in what could be the final chapter of a Hall of Fame-worthy career.
One of the Greatest to Ever Wear Green and Gold
Jaire Alexander joined the Packers in Season 13 and never left. Over the course of 20 seasons, he played in 320 games and established himself as one of the most reliable and feared cornerbacks in the league. He leaves Green Bay with 845 tackles, 92 interceptions, 206 pass deflections, 11 touchdowns, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, three sacks, and two safeties.
He consistently lined up against the league's best receivers, rarely allowed big plays, and remained healthy through most of his career. No matter who was coaching or who lined up next to him, Alexander gave the Packers a dependable anchor in the secondary.
Final Season Still Showed His Value
Even in Season 32, Alexander remained elite. He led Green Bay with six interceptions, added 12 pass deflections, forced a fumble, and returned one of his picks for a touchdown. He appeared in 15 games and was one of the few bright spots on a defense that gave up the second-most passing yards in the league.
Green Bay finished 31st in passing yards allowed and 28th in total yards allowed. Despite those struggles, Alexander continued to do his job and played a key role in helping the Packers reach the postseason.
Wild Card Loss Ends His Run in Green Bay
The Packers went 9-8 in the regular season, claiming the final NFC Wild Card spot behind the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North. In the opening round of the playoffs, Green Bay faced off against division rival Chicago and lost a hard-fought game 34-29. That loss ended their season and Alexander's 20-year tenure in Green Bay.
It was a fitting final game for Alexander, who gave everything to the franchise from start to finish.
A New Chapter in Baltimore
Now in Baltimore, Alexander joins a defense that quietly ranked among the league's best in key areas. The Ravens allowed just 21.3 points per game, ranking eighth in the league. They also finished 15th in passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed, and total yards allowed. Their balance across the board made them one of the more well-rounded units, but they lacked a true lockdown corner.
That's where Alexander comes in.
He'll play opposite Marlon Humphrey in a secondary that also features Nate Wiggins, Kyle Hamilton, and rookie Malaki Starks. His leadership and experience should immediately elevate the entire group, while his familiarity with Lamar Jackson brings added chemistry to the locker room. The two played together at Louisville and have remained close since entering the league.
One More Run, One More Shot at a Ring
With 92 career interceptions and 11 defensive touchdowns, Alexander is already one of the most decorated defensive backs in league history. Now with the Ravens, he's hoping to add one more thing to his résumé - a championship.
Baltimore believes they're close. And with Alexander added to the mix, they might be even closer than they think.
