One-time Pro Bowl LB Kwon Alexander visits with Jets

Alexander played in 13 regular-season and three postseason games with the 49ers during the 2019 campaign and part of the 2020 season. Saleh was San Francisco's defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2020.

The linebacker was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft and spent the first four years of his career with the club. Alexander started and played in all 16 games for the Bucs in 2016, racking up career highs in combined tackles (145), solo tackles (NFL-high 108), tackles for loss (12) and quarterback hits (seven), while recording seven passes defended, three sacks and one interception (a pick-six) as well.

The LSU product made his lone Pro Bowl in 2017 after posting 97 combined tackles, four passes defended and a career-high three interceptions across 12 contests. Alexander was limited to six games played in 2018 after suffering a torn ACL in Week 7 and played in only eight regular-season games during his first year with the Niners in 2019 due to a torn pectoral.

The 27-year-old was traded from the Bay Area to the New Orleans Saints in November 2020. In 12 games a season ago, Alexander registered 50 combined tackles and a career-high 3.5 sacks.
