Trade deadline deals start early, with Kwon Alexander dealt to Saints and CB Desmond King to Titans

The NFL’s trade deadline is Tuesday, and some teams were getting an early start.

If Monday’s early moves are any indication, it might be one of the liveliest trade deadlines the NFL has had.

The two deals that went down on Monday morning were linebacker Kwon Alexander heading from the San Francisco 49ers to New Orleans Saints, and the Los Angeles Chargers trading cornerback Desmond King to the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

With two contenders building up their defenses, expect more teams to follow in the trading frenzy.
