Former Ravens scout Joe Douglas has turned to his roots to begin filling out his front office as the new general manager of the New York Jets.
According to NFL Network, Douglas is hiring Baltimore assistant director of pro and college personnel Chad Alexander to be his director of player personnel. Alexander, 44, has worked for the Ravens since 1999 — the year before Douglas joined the organization with which he spent 15 years — and has served in roles ranging from pro personnel assistant and area scout to assistant director of pro personnel. Earlier this offseason, first-year general manager Eric DeCosta promoted Alexander to his current title, which entailed working with co-directors of player personnel Joe Hortiz and George Kokinis as a scouting administrator and chief evaluator of college and pro prospects.
Alexander served as Baltimore’s assistant director of player personnel for 10 years, a position that consisted of evaluating NFL talent, providing advance scouting reports on opponents for the coaching staff, and assisting with free-agent workouts. He spent six years as a college area scout, covering three different regions for the Ravens over that time.
Douglas, who was most recently serving as Philadelphia’s vice president of player personnel, is also expected to hire former Baltimore director of college scouting Phil Savage.

Right Now in Baltimore
From 'The Flu' to flying the Ravens into a Festivus?
Lamar Jackson hasn't practiced on a Wednesday in almost three months. Luke Jones and Nestor continue to spend midweeks discussing the health of the Baltimore Ravens two-time MVP quarterback and how it can't be helping the offensive operation. But, a win against the New England Patriots at home will keep hope alive in a wild and zany finish to the NFL regular season.
Leibovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government
"It's the best book ever written about the modern National Football League," so says Nestor about Big Game. And that's why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.
Gordy pushes the beat to another Grammy nomination
Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with "Seven Seasons" in the Classical Compendium category.
