Kiko Alonso likey cut ..

[Phil The Thrill]

Who was the genius that drafted Kiko Alonso in the first place?

[MJS]

Hmm. Kiko had a very good rookie year for us. Not sure why people are trying to revise that history. Many were very excited to have him back from injury and angry that we traded him away. In hindsight that was a great trade, but let's not pretend like all of us thought Kiko sucked and everyone was happy he was gone.

Got to hand it to Whaley that was a great trade.

[ghostwriter]

He’s too much of a knucklehead for us to show any interest and if we did I’d be disappointed. It’s one thing to be physical, but it’s another thing to try and end someone’s career. Hard pass, guys a total jerk.

I'll admit that I was looking forward to his return and I was disappointed when I read the "Kiko Alonso Traded" headline. But when I saw who we got out of the deal, I got over it. Quickly.

It was Chip Kelly who handed it to Whaley - on a silver platter.

 

I'm picturing this conversation:

 

CK: "Are you interested in LeSean McCoy?"

DW: "What do you want for him?"

CK: "Kiko Alonso."

DW: (awkward silence, waiting to hear what else he wants)

CK: (awkward silence, waiting for Doug to respond)

DW (bewildered): "OK, it's a deal."

DW hangs up.

DW: "Man, I shoulda bought a lottery ticket this morning."

He was good for us one year, even if he’s a dirtbag. 

 

The Legend of Kiko.. remember that one?

[WhoTom]

 

Now that the Jets are really short at LB, I could see the Phins trading Kiko to them instead of cutting him.

Hate for this trade was strong among the “Smart Football” people.  Their maxims are that RBs are a dime a dozen and that you want to get maximum “surplus” from talented players on cheap rookie contracts. Maybe right in most instances... 

 

Same people hate Josh Allen.

Kiko would be perfect for the XFL.

And I wouldn't mind bringing him in as a backup LB. He would be a heck of an option off the bench.

I don't understand the point of cutting him. Would I love to see him leave the division so he can't take shots at our franchise QB? Absolutely. But I don't understand why they would do it.

 

It saves them literally nothing against the cap.

Kiko could end up with the NY Jets who just lost Avery Johnson for the year.

 

The thought of Kiko and Gregg Williams together is unsettling.....

Is a former Bills linebacker on the roster bubble in Miami? It appears that may be the case for Kiko Alonso. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald noted that Alonso’s roster spot is not safe with roster cuts upcoming. Here is what Jackson said in regards to Alonso.

Sam Eguavoen’s emergence and Jerome Baker’s evolution — and the fact Miami is expected to play three linebackers less than half the time — have left Kiko Alonso and Raekwon McMillan in a tenuous position. McMillan obviously is not going to be released, but his playing time likely will be impacted.

Releasing Alonso would carry $8.2 million in dead money and just a $25,000 cap savings but would save Miami $4 million in cash, per overthecap.com.

He will make a team. Unless he has slowed down i think he would be a good fit here, quick and fast.

A wall that is in the house Josh Allen owns

Looks like he might be interested in renegotiating his contract to stay there:

Hover over the link, JoeF.  God I am a dumbass....

[GreggTX]

Kiko is an average LB. They're paying him too much. His only really good season was his rookie year with us.

[Boca BIlls]

Kiko was amazing for the Bills, both on the team and playing against him.
