Description
The New Orleans Saints return a fan favorite in linebacker Kwon Alexander. After less than eight months of recovery from his achilles injury, a nearly miraculous timeline, the athletic linebackers makes his return to the Big Easy. On a one-year deal worth up to $3 million, incentives are likely to be tied to playing time and performance. The Saints get away with a steal here getting Alexander back at no less than a $10 million discount from his original 2021 price tag.But what does this mean for the young linebackers on the Saints roster? 2021 Second-round rookie Pete Werner, 2020 third-round selection Zack Baun, and more young linebackers have done their best to pick up the Saints defense as quickly as possible and have no disappointed in camp thus far. Does Kwon Alexander slot in ahead of them? Or could they still topple the returning second-level playmaker.It will take a couple days before we see Kwon Alexander on the practice field, but with the fifth day of Saints training camp in the bag, there are a couple of important stories to follow. Wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith and cornerback Keith Washington both left practice early. Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill had down days with pads going on for the first time. Now to see who bounces back on Wednesday.Follow Ross on Twitter @RossJacksonNOLASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
