00:00Well, the Super Bowl champs traded for Jair Alexander, a well-known name who had a weird end in Green Bay and a weirder tenure in Baltimore.
00:10What can you tell us about this situation?
00:12All right.
00:13So here's what happened with Jair Alexander.
00:15So with Alexander, this craziness of coming out as a team captain against the Panthers a few years ago when he wasn't, because I guess he hailed from that area.
00:24You can't do that.
00:25That was bizarre.
00:26Lots of injuries, particularly knee injuries.
00:28So they asked him to take a pay cut.
00:31He refused.
00:31He goes to the Ravens.
00:34He reunites with his former college teammate, Lamar Jackson.
00:37It doesn't work out.
00:38He only plays in two games.
00:39A healthy and active for five.
00:41Now, he did have a minor knee injury before the season started, but he got healthy very quickly.
00:46And they just didn't think he was in good enough condition to play.
00:49And this is what's troubling, Kevin.
00:51There were a number of weeks that the Ravens were down with several corners who were hurt, and they didn't play him.
00:58Yeah.
00:58So at 28 years old, you have to answer this question, what is he at this point?
01:0328 is not old.
01:0430 is old.
01:0531 is old.
01:05Yes, he's had a number of injuries.
01:07He's missed a lot of games.
01:08You have to wonder, where is he?
01:09He was an elite corner, Kevin, at one point in his career.
01:13Now we look at the team that he got traded to, the Eagles.
01:16They've got a cornerback problem.
01:17And Keeley Ringo and Dory Jackson have not really worked out to the degree that they want.
01:22Ringo's kind of hadn't hurt them lately.
01:24The teams really haven't thrown a lot at him.
01:26The bottom line is the Eagles are trying to win another Super Bowl.
01:29And that corner position, opposite Quinn Young-Mitchell, is a problem.
01:33I would not completely rule out them trading for a true corner.
01:37A true, like Alexander, who doesn't have sort of the warts.
01:40But this was not the name that I was expecting.
01:43But you know what?
01:44At this time of year, the prices are very high.
01:47It's quite different than when March trading opens.
01:51Because after Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern, you can't make a trade until mid-March.
01:55But the Eagles did make the trade for Michael Carter, who is a nickel.
01:58And I'm told he'll probably see times of backup safety.
02:01By the way, he played safety in college at Duke.
02:04But the Eagles are just trying to figure out what they need to do next.
02:07And Edge, as we move this forward here, is a major priority for this football team.
02:12Zizo Jolari put on injured reserve with a hamstring.
02:15And they just don't have enough healthy bodies at Edge.
02:18And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:20And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:21And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:22And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:23And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:24And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:25And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:26And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:27And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:28And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:29And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:30And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
02:31And that's one thing they're going to try to get done by Tuesday.
