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.

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 (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/sea/;_ylt=AtiJNLmd2V4kOz7.MUVZn50dsLYF) are moving on without Shaun Alexander (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5048/;_ylt=Amwx1PF5BubPovVKhIyIhUodsLYF).
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.
