    It looks like linebacker Kiko Alonso will be rejoining the Saints. Alonso was one of three veteran linebackers to work out for the team on Thursday and multiple reports indicate that they will be signing him to their 90-man roster.

    Alonso played 13 games for the Saints during the 2019 season, so he’s familiar with the defense run by current head coach and former defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. He tore his ACL late in that season and has not played in any games since getting hurt.

    He had 31 tackles during his previous stint in New Orleans. Alonso was a 2013 second-round pick in Buffalo and played 73 games for the Bills, Eagles, and Dolphins before joining the Saints.

    A good guy and a good LB, but not the right fit for the wide-9 we were running when we hired him. In the wide-9 LBs are meant to be super disciplined and not bite on play fakes or misdirection. Kiko had good instincts but his natural gambling style of play put him out of position too often.

    Even though Kiko only played three seasons with Miami, in the time that such records are kept (semi-accurately since the mid 90s), he's in the top ten in franchise history in combined tackles.

    He joined Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, Rashad Jones, Brock Marion and Yeremiah Bell as the only ones in that time to have 400+ tackles and 5 interceptions. He's also 12th all time in team history in defensive fumble recoveries.
