Eagles Officially Acquire 2x Pro Bowl Cornerback From the Ravens
The Philadelphia Eagles have continued their aggressive push to strengthen the defense, completing another trade ahead of the Week 10 Monday Night Football matchup. After acquiring Michael Carter II from the Jets earlier this week, the team has now pulled off a second move aimed at adding depth and leadership to their secondary.
According to team sources, the Eagles reached an agreement with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday to bring in a veteran defensive back along with a 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2026 sixth-rounder originally owned by Denver. The decision comes as multiple starters, including Marcus Epps and Azeez Ojulari, were placed on Injured Reserve.
The move signals Philadelphia’s commitment to experience and stability in a young cornerback group that has been tested by injuries and inconsistency. Head coach Nick Sirianni and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio were said to be directly involved in finalizing the deal, wanting to bring in a player with proven coverage skills and leadership presence.
That player is Jaire Alexander, a two-time All-Pro cornerback who spent seven standout seasons with the Green Bay Packers before joining Baltimore earlier this year. Known for his elite man-to-man coverage and physical play, Alexander has racked up

For Fangio, Alexander brings exactly what the Eagles have been missing — a confident, vocal leader who can anchor the outside opposite young talents like Quinyon Mitchell and Kelee Ringo. The addition comes just as Philadelphia returns from their bye week, preparing to face Alexander’s former team, the Packers, on Monday night.
When asked about joining the Eagles, Jaire Alexander shared his excitement and mindset:
“Philly’s energy is real. They play with grit, passion, and heart — that’s the kind of football I love. I’ve battled against this defense before, and now I’m proud to fight alongside them.”
The trade has already drawn praise from analysts and fans alike, many calling it one of the smartest midseason moves of the year. With Alexander now in green, the Eagles’ secondary just got a major boost — and the rest of the NFC has officially been put on notice.

“Once you’ve bled green this long, it’s not just football anymore, it’s family,” Graham said with a grin after practice. “I told the guys, if there’s still fight left in this body, I’m giving it to Philly. One more run. One more shot at that Lombardi.”
This will be Graham’s 16th season in midnight green, a franchise record. Since being drafted 13th overall in 2010, he has become one of the most beloved Eagles of all time, ranking

“People talk about stats, but for me, it’s about moments, being with my brothers, hearing the crowd roar, feeling that energy,” Graham added. “If this is my last run, I want it to be one that Philly never forgets.”
