The New Orleans Saints made a move near the NFL trade deadline by picking up San Francisco 49ers linebacker Kwon Alexander, and now we know what they gave up to acquire him: a conditional fifth-round draft pick and one of their own linebackers, Kiko Alonso.
Alonso suffered an ACL tear back in January’s playoffs loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which kept him sidelined throughout training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. He was recently activated from the PUP list and returned to practice, though he wasn’t yet cleared to suit up for a game.
