Overview
- The total reimbursement reached $889,000, split as $500,000 from Baltimore and $389,000 from Jaire Alexander to cover part of his signing bonus and one week of salary.
- Philadelphia received a salary-cap credit tied to the deal, even though that amount had not counted against the Eagles’ cap at the time of the trade.
- The Eagles still lost the 2026 sixth-round pick they sent to the Ravens in a deadline deal that also brought back a 2027 seventh-rounder with Alexander.
- A week after the trade, Alexander stepped away to focus on his recovery and mental health following a January 2025 right-knee surgery, leading to his placement on the reserve/retired list.
- Reporting also flagged disclosure questions after the trade initially appeared inconsistently on team and league sites, and Alexander remains eligible to unretire but has not indicated a return.
