I think he had a few good seasons early in his career but never really reached that level again. He’s not Patrick Willis, but the Jets linebackers were low key awful last year and Alexander would help a little bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JustInFudge Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2022 I mean, no brainer addition. Solid vet, knows the systems, they didnt replace Jarred Davis, though I get he didnt provide much but still, this seems easy. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 This may be a contingency visit, where if we don't draft a guy we sign Kwon soon after the draft. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 He does seem injury prone however, just saw something that said he’s missed more than 4 games in 6 of his 7 seasons in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJetsFan Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 4 minutes ago, More Cowbell said: Depth? This guy would start on the Jets Considering we only show 6 LBs on the roster currently, yeah he could. Since starters like CJ don't play in the preseason, we couldn`t even field a complete 2nd unit as of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Don't know a lot about him, but a LB and a S are the two remaining positions this team is lacking in legitimate NFL caliber starters. Even if not great, but simply a competent NFL LB - this would be a very solid move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop24 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It would be a good pickup . He is baller when he is healthy and He already knows the defense. Definitely would start here . but after the neal situation i wont get my hopes until he actually signs.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Good player, very nice fit for the scheme, would address a real need without needing to invest a draft pick. I'm all for this signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Depth. Knows system and if it stops us from using a high pick on a LB then I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManCave Analyst Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 [/url]Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile appThanks for taking the time to put the highlight tape together, nice job. I knew about him because of my fantasy football addiction, and I wanted the Jets to bring his in before he signed with the Saint’s. You can see that he can shed a block to my a tackle and he can tack in open space unassisted. No sure about his ability to blitz or cover. And he does have a history, like many players, of getting hurt. But, we are getting desperate for LBs who can make plays. And , he would solve a potential problem of overdrafting a rookie to fill a need. He has familiarity with our scheme and probably would like to show that he is more than capable a playing.Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManCave Analyst Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Just a to say thanks for putting the 2 minute highlight tape together. I knew him from my studying/preparation with my fantasy football addiction. You can see that he has an ability to shed blocks and tackle. And, he tackles in open spaces, by himself. I was home that the Jets would consider him before he signed with the Saint’s. He has had some injuries, like more players would. No sure about his blitzing ability or coverage skills. But, signing him reduces the temptation of over drafting a rookie LB early. He does have familiarity when our defensive system and terminology.I hope that we sign him rather than wait until after the draft when some other team does.Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManCave Analyst Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It’s a violent game, so you have to expect the probability of injuries. I do think that has has a history of looking for a big pay day and always sitting out with a groin or hamstring excuse . He can play.Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 This would be a good, practical signing. Colts have added some good veterans this week. The slow and steady game does have some merit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player, especially an average at best linebacker, is going to veer him off that plan. It is such a great precident to set with players, GMs and agents around the league. This is the stuff that pays off dividends years down the road. No more is this team over paying and being taken advantage of. Joe D has done many great things here and this behavior is at the top of the list. Just like Riley Reiff, Kwon Alexander is average at best. The days of overpaying for these types of players are over. Thank you Joe Douglas! Thank you!! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily our Dline looks formidable... not enough to offset the derth LB ... but wont be as bad as it could be.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If stopping the run is going to be a huge problem, it will still be a huge problem with Kwon Alexander. Signing Kwon Alexander is not solving our run stopping issue if that is even going to be a problem this year. Kwon Alexander is the latest guy Jet fans have zoned in on. In reality, he a free agent right now because he is an average at best linebacker looking for above average money. And the days of the Jets falling for that trick re long gone. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect when Hamsah Nasirlideen is starting and getting blown away and the team is giving up 150 rushing yards a week - JD will regret saving $2mm in cap space. No on is saying Kwon is a super star but he is an NFL caliber LB - the Jets are lacking a full complement of starters at that level of player on the current roster. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
