San Francisco on Monday agreed to a massive four-year, $54 million contract, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers free agent Kwon Alexander, who is coming off a torn ACL suffered in October. The terms of the contract were first reported by NFL Media.

Alexander, 24, has 380 tackles during his 46 games with Tampa Bay (all starts) after getting taken in the fourth round of the 2015 draft from LSU. He suffered the knee injury Oct. 21 against the Cleveland Browns.
