We needed depth and insurance at the position…. And he can play all 3 spots…. If he’s healthy it’s a good signing.

No doubt. All reward and literally no risk. There's a reason Kiko has been banging around the league for what seems like the last two decades. When he's healthy he can play. And even after all this time he's only 31. That's oldish for a LBer but it's not ancient. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he still has some good football left. It would surprise me if he stayed healthy long enough to prove that though.

Solid signing. Will provide some depth and he is already familiar with team. Interestingly enough, remember Alonso was traded to the Niners for Kwon Alexander in 2020, now he is back with the Saints.

So they wait until Kwon is signed by the Jets, then go get Alonso, who hasn't played in forever because of injury? I mean I guess they have their reasons and all but from where I sit Kwon would have been the better choice.

I wonder what the cost difference is between the respective deals of Kwon and Alonso. On the surface, it surely seems like the former would have been preferable.

Not as wasted as Kikaha. At least Baun has had some decent special teams play. I just don't understand why they picked a pass rush specialist and tried to turn him into an off-ball LB.

Kikaha was such a let down. I remember his first few games for us he started off so well. Forcing a few fumbles and constantly being around the ball. But guy was riddled with injuries and fell off fast. We knew that when we drafted him though.

Baun has been a complete wasted pick in every way possible. He’s literally done nothing.

How many times did the Saints draft a player that played one position and switch him too another position and it always failed miserably. Square peg in a round hole syndrome.

Only player I can think of the position change working in is McCoy.

You should already know it was sarcasm. Could of had Kwon, to whom, was basically waiting for us..

Kwon chose to sign with Jets last week.

Oh I know..I was being sarcastic. We could of have signed Kwon but a week later we sign a guy that hasn't played in 3 years.
