Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

A couple of years back I'd have been over the moon. He seems to have regressed. Interneting to see why now

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

...what did we give up

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

This guy is very underrated player. Like the move. Great football instincts.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Not watched him as closely but he's gone backwards from what I've seen. Though to be fair he has been stuck in a dumpster fire in Miami

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

It's all part of a grand scheme. DS and the MICKSTER will trade him to the TEXANS for Kenny Stills!!! I'm sure he's learned the TEXANS PLAYBOOK by now!!!

Herbie Teope

Saints traded LB Vince Biegel to the Dolphins for Kiko Alonso, I'm told.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Nooooo!

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Stills isn't worth the BS distractions that come with him. I'd rather not.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Great deal.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

I think it can be a good move, provided he can grasp the playbook. Hopefully this doesn’t reflect on Anzelone’s shoulder and/or Robertson

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

I understand not needing two strong side LB’s, but I liked Biegel’s ability to line up at DE.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

This...he was the only one whom seemed able to put consistent pressure on the QB.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

So we traded the 6th LB on our roster for a starter. 20 career tackles for 557. Sounds like we made out like a steal. I'm kinda surprised about this.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Salary dump from Miami.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Still that is pretty darn cheap for an experienced starter.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

2 years left on his deal around 6ml a year.
Not too bad. Only bolsters the tackling and run stuffing. Davis and Alonso is a tacking monster

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

I’m surprised by the reactions to this trade. He’ll immediately become the second best LB’er on this if Anzalone doesn’t continue to slowly ascend.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

So,he missed camp due to injury.
Now he must pass a physical.
I know the team shook up their medical staff, but this still worries me.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

What's the worry?

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

What worries me is the bleak history of our medical staff and their ineffectiveness.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Led his team in tackles 2 of last 3 seasons. As long as he’s healthy it’s a win for us.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Noah Spence is available and finally healthy.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

My thoughts as well.

Saints have a legitimate squad to realistically get to the SB and gave up a career special teamer who has made 20 tackles in 23 games vs a guy (KA) who has assembled 557 tackles in 73 games in addition to sacks and quite a few int's. In addition (IMO) we have the best linebacker coach in the NFL.

Not sure of the long term health of AA or Craig but we need solid depth folks.

Is Alonzo better than Biegel? If the answer is yes, it was totally worth it. I see the 'fit".

RELAX :bng:

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

So no draft picks given up?... It's a win !

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Right, Low risk high reward....If he plays avg or better great if he doesn't......idk what happens if he doesn't but I don't have it having a big impact on or off the field

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Miami is truly tanking. They just need to make a trade for Nathan Peterman now.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

He's better than Biegel. Much better.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

They have a 75 year old version of him. :)

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Alonso is an incredibly talented ballplayer. I think the Dolphins have been so bad that he never really played up to his abilities. I think we're going to be really surprised with him.

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

There was an open spot in the ice tub next to Latavius that needed to be filled

Re: Dolphins Trade LB Kiko Alonso to Saints
 

Interesting.

Do you mean when Kiko tore his ACL in 2015?

2016 he started in 15 games
2017 he started in 16 games
2018 he started in 15 games. ...his BEST season as a Pro.

Same goes for Latavius.

These guys may miss a few practices however they show up when it matters on Sundays @ 12 noon.
