    Shaun Alexander Released!

    Another bit of news for you guys. Adam Schefter of the NFL Network is reporting
    that the Seahawks have released RB Shaun Alexander. This isn't shocking by any
    stretch but it's still significant when something like this goes from speculation
    to reality.

          Just another example of why you don't give huge contracts to veteran RB's.

            Seahawks cut MVP Alexander



            KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP)—Just a few years removed from an MVP season and also helping lead the way to a berth in the Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks are moving on without Shaun Alexander.
            The Seahawks capped their promise to overhaul their running game by granting Alexander his unconditional release Tuesday, hours after doctors cleared his surgically repaired left wrist for spring minicamps.
            Alexander, 30, completed just two of the eight years in a $62 million deal he signed in March 2006—two seasons of injuries, ineffectiveness and incessant boos.
            “This is one of the toughest decisions I’ll ever have to make and be a part of while with an organization. At the same time, you have to make these tough decisions,” Seahawks president Tim Ruskell said.
            The move was not unexpected yet was still a thudding end to Alexander’s pinnacle-to-pits demise. It came just over two years after Seattle gave Alexander the big contract in the wake of him becoming the franchise’s only league MVP, setting an NFL record with 28 touchdowns and leading the franchise to its only Super Bowl in 2006.
            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
            You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
            It was all
            true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
            He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
            mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
