Little info on Alexander

[SeaWolf]

And the rumors fly. I wouldnt count on the most consistent seattle performer to leave. I dont see cincy getting him, and Miami could use him but who are they gonna give up? I dont think Morris will be able to handle the load. Id like to see him stay in Seattle, but maybe theres still some hard feelings over that one yard

Who is Miami going to give up? Shaun is an UFA. They wouldn't have to give anything up.

Unless Miami has cap problems which it doesn't sound like they do.

i actually think that tampa would be a pretty good fit for him...id like to see him land there the most if he leaves seattle.

Um what are you guys smoking? Alexander is likely gone, and we will need a RB, why not get Rudi? He is a good worker and a hard runner, something Seattle hasnt had in a long time, he can actually pass block and will convert on short yardage situations. The only way this deal wouldnt be great is if some team somehow wants to trade for SA after we franchise him and we get some good picks out of it. Which isnt likely will happen.

If the Bengals don't want to pay Rudi there is no way they will pay Alexander, and if the Seahawks choose to address other positions they won't have the money to spend on Rudi.

There's a billion running backs that would be solid enough in Seattle, theres only a few good LTs and QB is a difficult position to replace. Add to that Ken Lucas needs to be signed and Alexander should be soaking up the sun in Miami or Oakland or somewhere next year.

I think Cincy just wants to make some noise with a big name FA just to rise up from the ashes of the old Bungledom some more.

Would Shaun Alexander help the run defense? Didn't think so. The Bengals have other places throbbing in need.

I'd rather tie up the money in the defense. I'd rather see what a Lamont Jordan is gonna cost. I'd rather see ourselves actually get a front office with an actual calender day to their tenure before we FA and the draft rolls around.

I want a lot of things. I don't want Rudi Johnson.

What am I smoking...good one.

Seattle doesn't want Rudi Johnson, he would only cost a fraction less than Alexander at this point. I'd personally love to see a guy like Najeh Davenport signed in Seattle with Maurice Morris as the 3rd down back and maybe even a 3rd/4th round rookie RB for additional depth in case of injury. I honestly don't think there is a dropoff between Alexander and a lot of other free agents out there this year. Alexander is an above average NFL RB, nothing special except for his lack of injuries.... definitely not worth 6+ million dollars/franchise tag.
