| There has been rumors going around about him being cut but I highly doubt that. - Quote :
ProFootballTalk.com is reporting "rumblings" from its sources at the NFL Scouting Combine that the Seahawks could be cutting running back Shaun Alexander soon.
Don't believe it.
The club would not even comment on the report, saying it doesn't deserve a response.
The club is not ready to give up on Alexander, yet. If he is released, it would likely come after June 1 to spread the cap hit on the remaining proration of his signing bonuses over the next two years.
Why would the team release Alexander before it knows it has a replacement, either in free agency or, more likely, in the draft? Some in the organization want to see how well Alexander performs now that the club has signed veteran Mike Wahle to fill the void at left guard and hired assistant coach Mike Solari to infuse some needed tenacity into the line. http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/football/archives/132432.asp | |

They wont release him, i don't even think they will trade him unless they can get one of the top RB's in this draft. | |

| Yeah, that's how I feel too.
I don't think he is as good as the hype he has gotten over the last few years, but he is still better than a lot of RB's in the league. | |
