This comment is 100% on, would not be surprised if it played out exactly like that. At least Alonso would get to play on the outside where he belongs.

I would like to see him out of the LEAGUE. I love hard hitting football, but Kiko is just plain DIRTY. Not even good, just dirty. Get his garbage out of the NFL. Too bad too, because he doesnt need to play like that, he's just too stupid to know better. I think he's always been overrated. Never understood the love for him in Buffalo. Outside of a couple really good games, he sucked. I agree that his style of play has no place in the NFL. He is a stupid, dirty, roided up scumbag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know you're going to suck, and you're going to be re-building, take the cap hit in a year you're already going to suck anyway.

It was the Jarius Byrd effect, he happened to be at the right place at the right time for ints and fumbles, recall his first half year here he was extraordinarily "lucky" imo. Just like Jarius Byrd having Marck Sanchez as a division QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember exactly where I was, and the entire subsequent evening of texts and posts among my friends. We even have some classic inside jokes that came out of some quotes/opinions. I was at a Tech Startup "Shark Tank" type event downtown, and everyone in the place had their phone light up at the same time. A murmur went through the crowd that turned into a rumble and they had to pause the event so folks could talk about it.

MJS Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hmm. Kiko had a very good rookie year for us. Not sure why people are trying to revise that history.

Arkady Renko Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 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...

Kmart128 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 On 8/20/2019 at 7:08 AM, HOUSE said: MIAMI DOLPHINS 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. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/08/new-england-patriots-releasing-p-ex-bills-current-miami-dolphins-lb-on-bubble-afc-east-roundup.html He will make a team. Unless he has slowed down i think he would be a good fit here, quick and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
