Phil The Thrill Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Who was the genius that drafted Kiko Alonso in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Now that the Jets are really short at LB, I could see the Phins trading Kiko to them instead of cutting him. 2 minutes ago, Nick the Greek said: The Legend of Kiko.. remember that one?

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... Same people hate Josh Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

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.

RocCityRoller Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) 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..... Edited August 22, 2019 by RocCityRoller 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...

GreggTX Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Kiko is an average LB. They're paying him too much. His only really good season was his rookie year with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
