It seems the two players were able to work out a deal, though, as Simpson will now wear No. 32 in a reverse of his previous number.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tout_d_2_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zeumk8ngp\">Simpson wasn&#8217;t the only player to change his jersey number on Monday. Safety Beau Brade, who is currently competing for the No. 3 position of the depth chart, changed from No. 28 to No. 25, the same number he wore earlier in his career at Maryland. Brade wore No. 24 last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_olktrulsp\">In turn, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who signed with the Ravens earlier this offseason, will change from No. 25 to No. 3. Awuzie has worn No. 33 and No. 13 throughout his career, but never No. 3. He&#8217;s now the third Ravens corner to wear a single-digit number, joining Nate Wiggins with No. 2 and\u00a0Jalyn Armour-Davis\u00a0with No. 5.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tout_d_2_6\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ktry4bu4p\">The Ravens are currently enjoying their summer break before training camp begins late next month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander will keep his iconic jersey number.
