According to Adam Schefter, the San Fransisco 49ers have reportedly acquired linebacker Kiko Alonso and a conditional fifth round pick from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for linebacker Kwon Alexander.
What It Means:
Alonso will join the 49ers after spending most of this season rehabbing from an ACL injury. When healthy, Alonso profiles as an early-down linebacker, averaging a 64.1 Run Defense Pro Football Focus in the past four season compared to his coverage mark at 53.0.
