Thats shocking! Ihope thats not true


SHAUN GETTING THE SHAFT?

We're hearing multiple rumblings from our connections at the Scouting Combine that the Seahawks could be cutting running back Shaun Alexander soon.

A media source told us moments ago that the move could come "in the next couple of days."

It would be the last step in a dramatic fall from grace for running back the NFL's MVP in 2005. Once Alexander got rewarded with a big contract in 2006, his performance began to dip. In 2007, he was, as the league insider types say, "just a guy."

Alexander is under contract through 2013, with total remaining non-guaranteed base salaries of $43.1625 million.

I don't know the validity of this story but I'm not that shocked. He has been really unimpressive as of late.

I think he's still a good back but the guy is making way too much money for what he's giving the team. Seattle could easily pick up a replacement in the draft.

:rofl: I wouldn't go this far.

Yes, he appears to be done, but no, he hasn't always been over rated, and I'd bet he will be in the HOF one day.

That would be pretty shocking news.

If they cut him, I can't see them handing the starting job to Maurice Morris. Perhaps they'll pick up DeShaun Foster? Michael Turner? Draft a guy?

Wow the possibilities......I love the offseason almost as much as the season. :heart:

The Seahawks are downplaying rumors that Shaun Alexander will be released by the team shortly. The team wouldn't even give Profootballtalk's rumor/report a response. According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the 'Hawks may wait until the summer to cut Alexander. We suspect they'll use a high pick on an RB.
