Linebacker Kiko Alonso will be returning to the New Orleans Saints on a pay cut, per Katherine Terrell of The Athletic.

Alonso, who will turn 30 in August, played 13 games for New Orleans last year. He amassed 31 tackles and a pair of quarterback hits.

The linebacker helped the Saints make the playoffs after a 13-3 campaign, but he suffered a torn ACL during the team's wild-card loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The former Buffalo Bill, Philadelphia Eagle and Miami Dolphin is entering his eighth NFL campaign after the Bills took him in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft out of Oregon.
