Veteran linebacker Kwon Alexander is signing a one-year deal with the New York Jets, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
The move reunites Alexander with Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who was his defensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers in the 2019 and '20 seasons.
Alexander, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 16 of the 2020 season after the New Orleans Saints acquired the linebacker in a midseason trade with the 49ers, recovered in impressive fashion last season, playing 12 games with 50 tackles, a career-high 3.
