Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles

That’s a HUGE L. We can’t depend on the defense to be elite anymore. Anzalone is the ultimate liability.

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles

We need Hendrickson and Malcom Brown back. If our D-Line can get back to full strength and our secondary stays healthy we may be able to survive. If we have to play more dime then so be it.

The fascinating thing to see now will be how we handle Kwon’s contract situation in the offseason. He has a $13.4 million cap hit next year with no dead money if released. He’s a perfect candidate for an extension to keep him around and lower the cap hit, but this injury complicates matters.

Gardner hits like a LB at times.

I don’t agree with that... what’s your reasoning behind Anzalone ?

In this game alone he allowed the man he was responsible for to run wide open in the endzone for a TD. Of course Malcolm was blamed for it. He’s just missing too many assignments.

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles

It’s a wrap was hoping he would be healthy so we could get him cheap next year

Alexander has no guarantees in his contract for 2021 (there is a vesting injury guarantee which basically offers no protection) so the $13.4 million cost that this will have for 2021 is meaningless since they can walk away with no issue. If he plays great they could look to recover the 5th round pick, but most likely this will be a player who is released come March. There is $0 dead money for the Saints if cut

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles

This injury is a big blow, the defense really started to play well once he came over. Feel bad for Kwon and wish him a speedy recovery. AA is going to need to step up and might be more packages for Swearinger. Up to DA to find ways around it but every team faces these situations and the great teams are the ones who step up and figure it out. Getting everyone on the D-line healthy so we can wreak havoc with our front 4 will go a long way towards helping with the injury.
