Kiko Alonso has retired, per source. The #Saints brought him in for one training camp practice, after playing the 2019 season in New Orleans. He’s decided to hang it up after 6 seasons in the #NFL @WWLTV

Saints brought him back for 48 hours so he could retire as a Saint.

Classy move.

Why didnt we do this with Rickey Jackson and Sam Mills?

I wonder if there was a financial advantage for him to sign a contract and then retire. Maybe it helps with his pension or health insurance to sign for another season even if he doesn’t play. Given how quick this happened, seems like it could have been his plan all along.

He can now enter the Hall of Fame as a Saint. Smart move by us.
