Shaun Alexander to Bengals?
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Could be. It's the franchise to his hometown of Florence, Ky. Here's the report from Mark Curnutte of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Here's a link to the story right here.
The Seahawks released Alexander before the draft. Jim Steiner, Alexander's agent, indicated in an e-mail to the Enquirer the Bengals were one of the teams he was interested in. Here's the excerpt:
"Making calls to teams. Bengals are on our list!" Jim Steiner, Alexander's agent, told The Enquirer in an e-mail this morning.

Who cares what "he" is interested in. The question is who might be interested in him? None at his $ rate and few even at a big discount.

HawcFan,
Seattle opted to take the full cap hit on Alexander this year. His cap number in 2008 will be $6.9M, but he will be off the books in 2009 and beyond.

Mac - I'm wondering how you know that? Not that I don't believe you - just interested.
I like that they took the hit this year. Seems like letting him go was only a couple M difference (minus the salary of the player taking his roster spot).
Go Ruskell!

Nature,
The decision to not designate Alexander as a post-June 1st cut was reported in last Wednesday's edition of the other daily newspaper in Seattle.
