Kwon Alexander LB, Saints

Are we packing it in? We trade an injury-prone 26 year old in his prime for a slower very injury-prone 30 year old on the downside of his career? Was Kwon seen as an issue on defense; as this simply a cap off-loading thing; or was this for help with our anemic pass rush? Personally I didn't see Kwon as a problem on defense. In fact he's much better than Kiko Alonso (who ran a 4.74 40) as a pass defender. So I see this as pass-rush help and cap off-loading, because I simply don't see how Kiko helps us otherwise.

Dre greenlaw beat out kwon. Kwon was way too expensive.

Al shaair showed whst he can do, so the niners got kiko as a stop gap.

Will Kiko even play?

Thanks Kwon for the hard play, it's cool bc the niners will draft an ILB in the late rounds and he'll be a stud on a rookie contract.
