Even though the\u00a0M<\/a>iami Dolphins’ front office expressed interest in parting ways with cornerback Jalen Ramsey in April, concrete trade talks revolving around the three-time First-Team All-Pro have yet to materialize.<\/p>\n

Such a move would place the Dolphins firmly in the market for an equally productive defensive back, especially as question marks continue to surround the state of the team’s secondary. That’s why the Dolphins were earmarked as a potential team to watch after a potential like-for-like replacement in Jaire Alexander was released from the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0in early June.<\/p>\n

The franchise received some bad news on that front Wednesday afternoon, though, as Alexander opted to sign elsewhere. Alexander has reunited with\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson, one of his college teammates at Louisville, and signed a one-year deal with the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

He will be joining a secondary that already includes two All-Pros (cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety\u00a0K<\/a>yle Hamilton) and rookie Malaki Starks, whom the Ravens selected with a first-round pick this year.\u00a0According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Alexander will also be compensated $4 million, plus up to $2 million if certain incentives are met, in 2025.<\/p>\n

Alexander, like Ramsey, is also a veteran of multiple All-Pro squads, having been named to the Second Team in both 2020 and 2022. He was named to the NFC’s Pro Bowl roster in those two seasons, as well.<\/p>\n
