The moment the news broke that the Philadelphia Eagles had traded for cornerback Jaire Alexander over the weekend, not many fans could fully understand the move.
Philly had just traded for former New York Jets cornerback Michael Carter II just mere days prior to the Eagles trading with the Baltimore Ravens for Alexander. Granted, giving up a late-round pick looks great on paper, but there were still concerns about whether Alexander can play at a high level.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman spoke for the first time since making a whopping three trades in the last week before the end of the trade deadline.
