The Ravens signed Jaire Alexander 1 day after Lamar Jackson publicly begged for him

The Ravens signed Jaire Alexander 1 day after Lamar Jackson publicly begged for him The Green Bay Packers unceremoniously released former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander on June 9th. With his free agent market uncertain after a spate of health issues in recent years, it was unclear who, if anyone, would want to give Alexander a chance at maximizing the second act of his NFL career. A reasonable concern on both counts, to be sure. Yet, it took the Baltimore Ravens less than 10 days to officially bring Alexander aboard. Why? Because his former Louisville college teammate, Lamar Jackson, wanted to play with him. And whatever a two-time MVP, future Hall of Fame quarterback smack dab in the middle of his prime football life wants, he gets. No hesitation. No questions asked. No further discussion necessary. Just a day prior, Jackson was asked about the prospect of playing with Alexander. He proceeded to offer up a disclaimer about how he appreciates all of Baltimore's cornerbacks before waxing poetic about how much he wanted Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta to ensure Alexander's football uniform this fall would be a lush, bright purple. It's unclear how much Jackson understood about where negotiations with Alexander were at the time of his endorsement. But it would be pretty naive to assume the Ravens didn't actively try to do right by their organization's talisman while also protecting themselves. After all, they likely wouldn't have given Alexander just a one-year deal worth $6 million (with $2 million locked behind incentives). That contract structure practically screams adding cheap, accomplished defensive depth that also conveniently makes the face of the franchise happy. Alexander joins a Ravens team that has been struggling to get over the hump come every January. Despite 78 total regular-season wins in the Jackson era so far, the Ravens have advanced past the divisional round just once in the last seven years. To say they've remarkably underachieved once the gauntlet of the postseason has rolled around would be an understatement. So, maybe Alexander can help Jackson's Ravens finally climb the NFL summit. Maybe, with his play, he can be a catalyst toward finally pushing these Ravens over the top. But I wouldn't necessarily bet on Alexander playing the biggest role until further notice. Not until we see him stay healthy through a full season, anyway. At the very least, having a talented old college friend regularly hanging around Jackson might be enough to keep him steady in a positive mindset that benefits everyone around him. I'm sure all of us can relate to that.

Emma Raducanu stalker prevented from buying Wimbledon tickets

LONDON — The man accused of stalking tennis player Emma Raducanu tried to obtain tickets to Wimbledon but was blocked by the All England Club's security system, British media reported. The BBC and others reported that the man tried to apply for tickets through the public ballot for the Grand Slam tournament that starts June 30. His name had been red-flagged. At the Dubai Championships in February, the man exhibited ' fixated behavior " toward the 22-year-old Raducanu, who became distressed during a match when she noticed him in the crowd. A day earlier, he had left her a letter and took her photograph, which unnerved the 2021 U.S. Open champion. After seeing the man in the stands, Raducanu took shelter behind the umpire's chair during her second-round match against Karolina Muchova. Raducanu later said she 'couldn't see the ball through tears ' and struggled to breathe before approaching the umpire. The man was ejected from the tournament. He was later detained by Dubai police and signed a document pledging to 'maintain distance' from Raducanu, who is ranked No. 36.

Former Packers CB Jaire Alexander Predicted To Sign $16M Deal With NFC Contender

Former Packers CB Jaire Alexander Predicted To Sign $16M Deal With NFC Contender originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Green Bay Packers fans can imagine a few destinations they would not be pleased with if former two-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander were to sign elsewhere. The most obvious rival is the Minnesota Vikings, who have a history of signing former Packers players after their time in Green Bay. Notable examples include Aaron Jones, Brett Favre, Dean Lowry, Za'Darius Smith, Robert Tonyan, and many others. Advertisement On the AFC side, the team that makes the most sense to go after Alexander is probably the Baltimore Ravens. They are a Super Bowl contender, and Lamar Jackson is good friends with him. According to Over the Cap, Baltimore has over $18.5 million in cap space, so they have the money to sign him. If that happens, Packers fans would see Alexander again in Week 17, when the Ravens come to Green Bay. Alexander should have a strong market, and there should be no rush for him to pick a new team. Among the options out there, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles could be a strong suitor. CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin even predicts Alexander will sign a one-year, $16 million deal with Philly. Former Green Bay Packers CB Jaire Alexander (23) celebrates with CB Keisean Nixon (25) after a play during the second half against the Philadelphia Eagles© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images "All offseason, Alexander and the Green Bay Packers braced for a split over the two-time second-team All-Pro cornerback's contract, which once looked reasonable but quickly became concerning as the cover man missed more and more time due to injuries," Benjamin said. "The divorce finally occurred prior to minicamp, with the Packers outright releasing the veteran to free agency. Advertisement "Joining the rival Minnesota Vikings would be spicy and smart for both sides, while the Rams and Baltimore Ravens also make sense as playoff-contending suitors. The Philadelphia Eagles are due for a splash, though, and Alexander, who just happened to be born in Philly, would give them a higher-upside rental for their title-winning secondary. Prediction: Signs one-year, $16 million deal with Philadelphia Eagles." It would not bode well for Green Bay's chances of making a serious Super Bowl run if Alexander ended up in Philadelphia — especially if he managed to stay healthy. Howie Roseman is known as one of the most aggressive General Managers in the league, and it is entirely plausible to imagine him pairing the two-time All-Pro with Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell in an already stacked Eagles secondary. Green Bay and Philly went head-to-head twice last season — first in the NFL's first-ever regular season game in Brazil, then again in the NFC Wild Card round. The Eagles won both times. They are scheduled to meet again in Week 10 on Monday Night Football, and that game has the feel of a classic. If Alexander signs with the Eagles, it adds one more layer to an already loaded storyline.
