In the middle of writing a story about head-scratching moves on the Saints defense, the trade alarm goes off and a player I had long hoped would avoid the Saints radar is coming to town. According to multiple reports, veteran linebacker Kiko Alonso is coming to New Orleans in a trade involving special teams ace, linebacker Vince Biegel.
Alonso was initially a second-round draft pick by the Buffalo Bills out of Oregon in the 2013 NFL Draft. After two years in Buffalo, he was flicked off to the Eagles for a year before landing in Miami where he’s been for three seasons.
