The San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets are among the groups inspired by Tampa Bay Buccaneers looming free specialist linebacker Kwon Alexander, as per a report from Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. 

Stroud tweeted Monday morning that the Buccaneers were "propping" to lose Alexander, who is searching for a top of the line contract in spite of having his 2018 season reached an end due to a torn ACL. "Alexander is being sought after by the Jets and 49ers and looking for a world class bargain between $10-million $12-million APY," composed Stroud. 

Alexander (6-1, 227, age: 24) joined the NFL in 2015 as a fourth-round draft select the Buccaneers from LSU. He began 12 amusements as a tenderfoot and totaled 93 handles, three sacks, two capture attempts two constrained bobbles, and nine passes defensed before his season was stopped in the wake of getting a four-diversion suspension for damaging the NFL approach on execution improving substances. In 2016 he began each of the 16 amusements and piled on 145 handles, three sacks, seven passes defensed, one constrained bobble, and one block attempt, at that point was chosen to the Pro Bowl in 2017 in the wake of totaling 97 handles and three interferences in a season restricted to 12 recreations because of hamstring damage. 

Alexander began the initial six rounds of 2018 for the Buccaneers before the torn ACL happened amid a Week 7 diversion against the Cleveland Browns. He completed the year with 45 handles, one sack and two constrained bobbles. 

"Kwon was playing so well and he's the essence of our protection," Buccaneers head mentor Dirk Koetter said in October, per BucsNation.com. "Simply appalling and our locker room at halftime was incredibly passionate the previous evening. Kwon left the preparation room directly about the time that we were preparing to backpedal on the field, so it was enthusiastic. You could tell that the folks truly care."
