Saturday at 09:53 PM2 days Author McPherson breaks down details here:https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-agree-to-acquire-jaire-alexander-from-the-ravensBasically, we gave up a 2026 6th and get a 2027 7th in return.
Saturday at 10:05 PM2 days The only 6th the Eagles had was the one from the Vikings in the Sam Howell deal. Not sure where the idea they are trading a pick from the Broncos comes from.
Saturday at 10:10 PM2 days I’d be excited if this was 2 years ago but not sure he can still perform at a high level. Guess we’ll soon find out.
Saturday at 10:15 PM2 days He didn't even play most of the year, why didn't they get him when he was a free agent?

Sunday at 01:20 AM2 days He’s still young enough to turn his career around, but that was a significant injury. Low risk here with the potential for higher upside if it pays off. I like the move, but not if this will be the only move Howie makes.
Sunday at 01:38 AM2 days How washed is he? Took a while to catch on with the Ravens, injured and then a healthy scratch. It's a really low risk move, but I don't think my expectations are high
Sunday at 01:50 AM2 days He is friends with Lamar and wanted to play in Baltimore. He is either washed or he was not healthy yet so they found someone else who is playing well?Its hard to expect anything from him but if they can rehab him for the playoffs, it would be a steal.

I like the move, but not if this will be the only move Howie makes.This is the 3rd move for a corner they probably don't have much else they can do at this point of the season

Trying to find answers at CB2.I don't care either way they didn't give up much. Just was saying they could of had him in free agency but, I guess they thought Ringo would take a step forward in his development
Sunday at 02:45 AM2 days 4 hours ago, Bwestbrook36 said:He didn't even play most of the year, why didn't they get him when he was a free agent?This is 100% known. He went to school with Lamar and he wanted to play with him on the Ravens.No other team decided not to pursue him. He was only going to the Ravens.
Sunday at 02:46 AM2 days He was not a day 1 and everyone bids free agent in April. The Packers held onto him until June and when he was released he went where he wanted to go.

Sunday at 08:01 AM2 days I wanted Alexander in the offseason so I’m pretty pleased with this. Sure he’s had injury problems but quite honestly he can’t be worse than what we’ve had at CB2. If he can stay healthy then he’s going to be an upgrade even if it’s not quite the upgrade we hoped for.

Sunday at 01:02 PM2 days Neither excited or bothered by this. I just look at it like, ok, that’s what they did. Hopefully it works. I’d still like more pass rush help.
Sunday at 02:11 PM2 days If he could get back to the level he was at 3 years ago he's a steal, but he barely saw the field for Baltimore so I don't see it. It's one of those moves where it's hard to argue with because it's basically a pick swap, but it's the trade equivalent of betting a dollar on a +25000 shot at the track, there's barely a snowballs chance in hell it's coming in but if it does kerching.
