The New Orleans Saints reached an agreement with the Miami Dolphins to trade for linebacker Kiko Alonso on Sunday, as first reported by Herbie Teope of The Advocate. Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network confirmed the trade, and Nick Underhill of The Athletic reported that the Saints swapped backup linebacker Vince Biegel for Alonso. Biegel was a special teams ace and reserve linebacker for the Saints last year, after initially starting his year on the practice squad.
Alonso, 29, had his best NFL season since his rookie year in 2018.
