He is being an example, father's fight for their kids

Lamar has had work outs in the off season, including throwing, with Zay and several others, your point papa? The OTAs recently? As I said, he had a very continuous child custody case going on the past few months, in Florida and was excused from the OTAs, though he did give up some $700k in bonus money to do so; admirable

Have to wonder, whose roster spot will he take? Of the young, up & coming talents

Well this year he had custody issues with his child he was dealing with down in Florida.

If he stays healthy, great if he plays to his talent. But if he plays not to get hurt, ring a bell?

Yall wanted a cheap rental, here he is..... The sides agreed on a one-year deal worth $6MM, https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/ravens-sign-cb-jaire-alexander#google_vignette

Unreal Lamar Jackson urged the Ravens to sign Jaire Alexander, and the franchise quarterback's wish has been granted. Alexander has signed with Baltimore, reuniting the two-time Pro Bowler with Jackson, his friend and former teammate at Louisville. The 28-year-old Alexander has been one of the NFL's top cornerbacks when healthy and is a physical player who loves the challenge of covering top receivers. He will add experience and depth to the team's cornerback group led by four-time Pro Bowler Marlon Humphrey and talented second-year pro Nate Wiggins. Alexander projects to be the outside cornerback opposite Wiggins, with Humphries. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/jaire-alexander-signs-ravens-lamar-jackson-reunite-eric-decosta-free-agency

Quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Ravens took another step toward putting on the pads Tuesday with the first practice of their two-day mandatory minicamp. Returning to the field for the first time since Week 1 of organized team activities, Jackson looked crisp from the jump. He connected with tight end Mark Andrews on several throws over the middle and further established chemistry with new wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. For Jackson, going to work is better than having time off. "You want to know the best thing I did [during the offseason]? I came here today," Jackson said. "I was out here training with my guys, working hard. I felt like we got better today." Here are other notes from Tuesday's practice: Hopkins had a one-handed sliding catch on a short pass from Jackson in 11-on-11 drills. Jackson said, "He caught the ball so smooth. He got up. I don't even think he put his other hand on the ground to get up. … That's some super-vet stuff." Jackson connected with Andrews for a big completion on a seven-on-seven play, lofting a pass over Trenton Simpson's head and finding Andrews for roughly a 20-yard gain. Simpson returned the favor later in seven-on-seven work, picking off Jackson on a pass over the middle. Fellow inside linebacker Jake Hummel also nearly had a pick during seven-on-seven work, as the inside linebackers showed off their pass coverage. Safety Beau Brade and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie both returned to practice after suffering what Head Coach John Harbaugh described as minor ankle injuries at organized team activities. Awuzie's ankle didn't seem to slow him down, as he participated in 11-on-11 work and had a diving pass breakup on a throw from Cooper Rush. The veteran free-agent addition also blew up a run play in the backfield. T.J. Tampa had a leaping interception in the back of the end zone, bobbling and holding onto the ball while keeping his feet in bounds. After coming away with two interceptions in OTAs, undrafted rookie cornerback Reuben Lowery had another takeaway in seven-on-seven drills, ripping the ball away from wide receiver Dayton Wade on a pass down the left sideline. Undrafted safety Desmond Igbinosun also snagged an interception after a pass-catcher let the ball slip through his hands over the middle. Wade caught several passes throughout the day, including a sideline touchdown grab in 11-on-11 work. Rookie insider linebacker Teddye Buchanan broke up a pass over the middle in seven-on-seven drills. Malik Cunningham made a one-handed grab in the flat on a rollout pass from Rush.

He cant stay healthy, why add an often injured corner to a secondary that lately cant stay healthy? https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lamar-jackson-lets-go-get-jaire-alexander One of cornerback Jaire Alexander’s college teammates would like to join up again in the NFL. Alexander was released by the Packers recently and his inability to stay healthy in recent years isn’t an issue for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson and Alexander played together while at Louisville and Jackson said at a Tuesday press conference that he’s spoken to Alexander about coming to Baltimore Jackson said you never know what Alexander will do, but made it clear that he thinks General Manager Eric DeCosta should call the corner as well. “Go get him, Eric,” Jackson said. “I love all our corners, but go get him Eric.”

Now he is out riding a bike, flaunting his current freedom with weird Instagram posts... fit him in a straight jacket and put him in a rubber room

That's not good

Don't forget about Noteboom, he is serviceable for a few games at either tackle spot..

Yeah, he works hard so I'm looking forward to see him grow this year. This offense should really take off this year, again, difficult to imagine considering they were at or near the top last year in pts, yards, passing & running. The key will be consistent play, turnovers, both for them and the defense.

Yeah, the team is set on Faalele at right guard, still, he needs improvement as well. Even so, as well as this team ran the ball last year, it is hard to complain too much

Go to YouTube, watch the dash cam, live cam feeds from the police. A lot of them are FLA. Seeing how some of the idiots are doing stuff, crime, then spitting, hitting, kicking the police. Then watch some of the sentences handed down, even after 30 mile, high speed police chases with crashes, people are getting community service. Unreal

Cleveland can, he proved it every time he got a chance to play. The problem was his practices that stunk and led to him getting few chances. We found out why he was struggling with practice, personal reasons. He seems to have moved on from those and is practicing very well. I would love to see him at right guard and Vorhees at left. In any event, Cleveland has shown that he can swing from either guard and center

Interesting, just the left guard? Not both guards? There aren't many starting jobs up for grabs on the Ravens roster, but left guard is at the top of the list. Following Patrick Mekari's departure in free agency this offseason, Andrew Vorhees and Ben Cleveland are competing to replace him, and Offensive Line Coach George Warhop wants to see a clear winner. "I believe in a starter. I don't like playing two guys," Warhop said. "So, we [have] two veteran guys here with Andrew and Ben. Let them fight it out. If one of the young guys comes up, and they can add competition to that, we'll let that happen. But I prefer to have a starter and a backup. I don't like going in with combination guys." In his first season following the ACL tear that cost him his rookie year, Vorhees won the starting job out of training camp last year. However, he suffered an ankle injury in Week 3 that sidelined him for two weeks. Mekari slid into the starting job and never gave it up. Vorhees still kept working out of the public eye. He sharpened his game on the scout team and was proud of the way he played in the regular-season finale against the Browns when the Ravens rested starters. Now, Vorhees has another crack at the starting gig, and he's been a regular at the Under Armour Performance Center this offseason, training to win the job. "There's an open position out there for grabs," Vorhees said. "It's up to somebody. So why not me?" Cleveland, who was re-signed to a one-year deal this offseason, has played well when called upon. In his first four years, the burly blocker made seven starts. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/andrew-vorhees-ben-cleveland-left-guard-battle-ravens-roger-rosengarten-otas

Did you catch the two kids? He clearly had the gun, ran what, 20 yards at the guy then fired two shots. My guess since he didn't really hit anyone, supposedly grazed the guy in the neck, he pleads down, to lesser charges and get community service with therapy

Na, he was nutz well before football

https://nypost.com/2025/06/12/sports/ex-nfl-star-antonio-brown-facing-attempted-murder-charge-in-miami/ Antonio Brown is a wanted man. The controversial former NFL star is being sought for arrest by police in Miami-Dade County on an attempted murder charge related to a shooting that happened outside a celebrity boxing event last month, the Washington Post reported Thursday. A judge signed the warrant Wednesday and it listed a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. The warrant called for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and be placed under house arrest pending a trial, according to the report. The incident occurred just after midnight May 16 in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, and Brown initially was detained by police and released hours later. Brown claimed at the time he had been jumped in an attempted robbery outside a Brand Risk boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross. Footage posted on social media detailed the chaotic scene as Brown appeared to be engaged in a fight with several men before falling. The footage later showed him kicking a man on the ground before it cut to sounds of what people said were shots being fired. Another video showed Brown in handcuffs being led away by police, but he later was released. According to the warrant, bystanders in the parking lot told police Brown was the shooter, though no weapon was found on the ex-football player when they patted him down. The Miami-Dade state attorney’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. The Post attempted to reach out to an email address listed on Brown’s social media account and did not immediately hear back Thursday night. The warrant called for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and be placed under house arrest pending a trial, according to the report. Footage posted on social media detailed the chaotic scene as Brown appeared to be engaged in a fight with several men before falling. The footage later showed him kicking a man on the ground before it cut to sounds of what people said were shots being A pair of spent shell casings and an empty gun holster were found by police, the warrant stated. Detectives with Miami police later obtained video that showed Brown punching another man, which kicked off the fracas, and it later appeared to show him taking the gun of a security officer before moving toward the person Brown had punched, WaPo reported the warrant stating. Cellphone video recorded two gun shots occurring when Brown approached the victim and showed him ducking, while the warrant also stated the victim told police Brown “began to run toward him with a firearm” after the initial fight was stopped.

He has the speed to play anywhere on defense, the smarts & instinct to take advantange

Malaki Starks' education at OTAs has included staying after practice, watching extra film, and sideline discussions with teammates and coaches. Starks is going the extra mile because the first-round safety from Georgia is willing to pay the price to be everything the Ravens expect and more. "The more you learn, the faster you can play," Starks said following Monday's practice. "You can be free, and I think I just want to keep expanding my knowledge and keep diving into the system." Starks made a similar transition at Georgia, where he started as a true freshman and helped the Bulldogs win the national championship in 2022. Helping the Ravens win a Super Bowl in his rookie season would be quite an encore for Starks, but that's his goal, and he's embracing that challenge. His versatility is a major reason the Ravens wanted him. They envision Starks joining safety Kyle Hamilton and cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins in an elite secondary that can morph into different looks at any time. "I like being anywhere, if I'm being honest," Starks said. "We talk about a positionless defense. I've been playing a lot of free safety, but I've also been the other safety, and I got some reps at dime, as well, so just being able to move around." To take full advantage of his skillset, Starks must master the defense to avoid making coverage mistakes in a secondary with so many moving parts. At 5 a.m. before Monday's practice, Starks said he received a text message from Senior Defensive Assistant/Secondary Coach Chuck Pagano, who sent film from last week's practice. "I woke up, and I was like, 'OK, cool. That makes sense,'" Starks said. "That's how I want to be coached. I received that very well, so just being able to have somebody like that in my corner, it's a blessing." Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr has been impressed by Starks' willingness to engage in conversation and communicate on the field. "I've already seen the impact that 'K-Ham' has had on Malaki with his communication, his knowledge, and just his football savvy," Orr said. "I have a great vision for those guys. I think they're going to help us out and play great football for us." After early-season struggles in 2024, Baltimore's pass defense took a major leap when Ar'Darius Washington became a starter and Hamilton stayed primarily at free safety. Unfortunately, Washington suffered a torn Achilles last month that is expected to keep him out and play great football for us." https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/malaki-starks-otas-learn-faster-marlon-humphrey-kyle-hamilton-zach-orr-chuck-pagano

Wiggins, Tampa, Starks, Hamilton, yeah, and nice secondary forming for a few years

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens secondary coach Chuck Pagano didn’t wait for the play to officially end. As cornerback Nate Wiggins headed upfield, setting up his blocks along the way, following an interception of an overthrown pass during Friday’s organized team activity, Pagano broke out the celebratory dance moves on the sideline. The 64-year-old coach shuffled up and down and waved his right arm in the air as if he were riding an imaginary horse. It doesn’t take much to get Pagano going, but the sight of Wiggins securing the football and using his speed to race toward the end zone was enough to get anybody associated with the Ravens excited. Wiggins, a first-round pick in 2024, had a strong rookie season. He played in all but two games, broke up 13 passes and held quarterbacks to a 66.7 passer rating when they targeted him. Wiggins allowed just 31 receptions on 62 targets, forced a key fumble in Dallas and had a pick six in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns. Yet, it was hard for Ravens coaches this offseason not to think about how much better Wiggins could get when he became a little stronger and had a better grasp of the fundamentals of the cornerback position and how offenses were attacking him. “Last year, he was just running like a chicken with his head cut off, trying to figure out what to do,” Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr said last week. “Now, he understands the system. He understands the defense. He’s been in the league for a year, so he understands formations from offenses. Now, he can really just hone in on his technique. Man, that guy right there, he takes his technique to another level on a consistent basis. The sky’s the limit for him.” Wiggins, who had an interception and a pass breakup in the Ravens’ last OTA on Friday, is off to a solid start this offseason. He’s added 10 pounds after prioritizing getting bigger and stronger. Possessing a better understanding of the position, he’s playing with more decisiveness and confidence. And he no longer has to wonder about his role on a week-to-week basis. The Ravens, influenced partly by health issues for Wiggins in the first half of the season, somewhat eased the rookie in. He played more than 75 percent of the team’s defensive snaps just twice over Baltimore’s first 10 games. But those days are over. He’ll enter the 2025 season as a starting outside corner and one of the Ravens’ core defenders. He says he’s ready for that. “Last season, I didn’t feel like I was really a pro yet,” Wiggins said Friday. “Now, I’m knowing how to be a pro. I feel like now it’s going to pay off.” The Ravens lost some key pieces from last year’s defense, which started agonizingly slow but turned things around and was playing at a high level by season’s end. Nose tackle Michael Pierce retired. Starting cornerback Brandon Stephens departed to the New York Jets in free agency. Malik Harrison and Chris Board, part of the linebacker rotation, signed elsewhere. Baltimore’s cornerback depth thinned out with veterans Tre’Davious White and Arthur Maulet not returning. Safety Ar’Darius Washington, whose ascension into the starting lineup was a catalyst for the defensive turnaround, tore his Achilles during a May workout and will miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6410680/2025/06/09/ravens-nate-wiggins-organized-team-activities/
