Saints linebacker Kwon Alexander will soon be looking for work.
The Saints plan to cut Alexander before the new year of the league, reports Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
This is not surprising; the saints have surpassed the $ 182.5 million salary cap for 2021 and need to reduce it next week. Cutting Alexander reduces $ 13 million from the saints’ ceiling.
Alexandre missed the postseason after breaking his Achilles tendon in December, but he hopes to be ready to go to the training ground.
The Saints negotiated a draft choice for the fifth round to acquire Alexander from the 49ers during the 2020 season. He started his first seven games as a Saint before tearing up his Achilles.
