After being named the 2013 PFWA Defensive Rookie of the Year with the Bills, Alonso missed his second season due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and was then traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015. Following an inconsistent season with the Eagles, he was traded to the Miami Dolphins, becoming entrenched as a starter for three years. He was traded again to the Saints in 2019, with whom he was primarily a reserve player. Following another ACL injury during the 2019 playoffs, he was traded to the 49ers in 2020, but was released later that season without ever playing a game.
