Primarily looking at how statured (Alexander) is as a veteran. It’s possible some teams really don’t see him as a starter. But I experience like Denver right now, he would not be the starter . . . I sense like (Alexander) would be a terrific insurance coverage policy to have.”

Roark also writes for Mile Substantial Sports.

Alexander most recently invested the 2021 year with the New Orleans Saints and was a 2017 Pro Bowl collection with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He posted three-and-a-half sacks and seven quarterback hits with 50 total tackles last period.

After his Professional Bowl appearance in 2017, Alexander sustained serious accidents in the course of the up coming 3 seasons as he performed just 26 online games through that time span. Alexander dealt with a torn ACL, a torn pectoral and an Achilles tear.

He did start out in 8 out of 12 game titles in 2021. It is probable wherever Alexander lands will be with a workforce that can use him as a third-down go-hurry specialist with the chance of taking a starting off role all through education camp and the preseason.

The seven-year veteran will be moving into his age 28 season. There’s definitely area remaining in the tank to question why he’s nonetheless not on an NFL roster.

While it’s assessment, Bleacher Report’s Jake Rill believes that Alexander is a suit with the Chicago Bears.

“If the Bears want to signal a totally free agent to fill that 3rd linebacker place, Kwon Alexander is continue to on the market,” Rill wrote on July 11. “If they don’t indication him or anyone else, then they’ll both have to depend on inexperienced players or lessen the range of occasions they use a few-linebacker sets in the course of online games.”

Teams that have a lot more cap place and a higher chance of commencing Alexander will most most likely have the greatest likelihood to indication the 27-year-outdated.
