Baltimore Ravens sign Jaire Alexander following the cornerback's release by the Packers
Jaire Alexander has signed with the Baltimore Ravens less than two weeks after the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback was released by the Green Bay Packers. The Ravens posted a video on Wednesday of star quarterback Lamar Jackson enthusiastically greeting Alexander after he signed with the two-time defending AFC North champions. Jackson and Alexander were teammates at Louisville. ESPN reported that the 28-year-old Alexander was getting a one-year deal with a base value of $4 million and another $2 million in incentives. Emerging as a top cornerback The Packers released Alexander on June 9, ending a seven-year run in which he emerged as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks before injuries limited his availability. Alexander's future with the Packers was the subject of much speculation throughout the offseason because of his hefty contract and recent injury history. He is a two-time NFL Pro Bowl performer. Alexander, who has 12 interceptions, had two years remaining on the four-year, $84 million contract extension he signed in May 2022. His best season was in 2022 when he picked off five passes. Former first-round draft pick A first-round draft pick by Green Bay in 2018, Alexander missed two games early last season with injuries to his quadriceps and groin. He then missed a Nov. 3 loss to Detroit with a knee injury, returned to play 10 snaps in the Packers' next game against Chicago and then was out for the rest of the season. The games he missed were because of injury with one exception. Alexander was suspended for a late-season game in 2023 because of conduct detrimental to the team after he appointed himself captain and participated in the coin toss for a Christmas Eve win at Carolina, his hometown.

NFL wife Kelly Stafford reveals weed gummies ‘make me a better parent'
Kelly Stafford shared her ultimate parenting hack. Kelly, who shares four daughters with husband and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, revealed in the latest episode of her podcast she "sometimes" enjoys taking THC gummies. "Gummies are great," she said on "The Morning After" podcast. "Sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent. They calm me down. It's like the glass of wine." Kelly, who has four children under 8, said she does feel "a little guilty" admitting it. "I feel a little guilty saying it, and it's not like I do it every night, but sometimes I'm like, 'S--- it has been a long day. I don't want to rip my hair out or their hair out, so I am going to just top it off with a little gummy.'" Kelly added that she does have the support of her husband. "This is what Matthew always tells me. He's like, 'As long as they're in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there?' Just like, just get them there." A recent study by researchers at UC San Francisco determined that eating edible cannabis, such as gummies, has the same cardiovascular risk as smoking marijuana for long-term users. The risk stems from reduced blood vessel function, according to the study, published in JAMA Cardiology May 28. The Stafford family faced uncertainty this offseason amid trade speculation and stalled contract negotiations between the veteran NFL quarterback and the Rams. In March, the sides agreed to a restructured deal. "This is where we both wanted to be, and I'm just glad he gets to play for the team and the coach that he wants to end his career with," Kelly said on her podcast in March. The NFL Network reported last month that, under the new restructured contract, Stafford is due to earn up to $84 million over the next two years. Under his previous contract, that number was $58 million. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
