Shaun is gonna pay the Bengals a visit on Monday...
Alexander to visit By GEOFF HOBSON May 1, 2008 Posted: 1:15 p.m.
The agent for Shaun Alexander said Thursday that his client is scheduled to visit the Bengals on Monday, but Jim Steiner stressed the visit is "very preliminary."
"Shaun wants to get an idea how the Bengals would use him and I'm sure the Bengals would like to talk to him," Steiner said. "But there is interest on both sides."
The Bengals, who usually only keep three tailbacks, have a lot to figure out, as does Alexander.
If Rudi Johnson and Chris Perry are healthy, what to do they do with Kenny Watson and DeDe Dorsey if they sign Alexander?
For the right price I would love to have Alexander. From what I seen he is a player full of character and we need some of that in our locker room right now. He could be a great example, even if its only for a year or two for some of these players we have.
At the same time, I like all of our backs (Rudi, DDD, Watson, Perry, Irons). So if anything I say we cut ties with Rudi, I think he has hit the end of his legs life and don't see him as a key to our future anymore.
