if the bengals sign him, there will be a solid rb released, probably DeDe Dorsey. hoping they bring shaun home, as long as he understands he's not the starter and he wont be getting a brinks truck deal.

dont sign if you plan on screaming about not starting by week 3 or money. but otherwise, welcome home.

Shaun Alexander is soft. I feel for the team who signs him to find this out first hand.

Packers4 | 05/09/08, 09:16 AM

He is going to end up in the Canadien football leaugue and next year he will return to the NFL

usc | 05/09/08, 09:16 AM

maybe the Patriots should pick him up..........as a backup

sday4x45 | 05/09/08, 09:38 AM

He should come to Houston and join the "over the hill gang" that the Texans have.

Texson | 05/09/08, 10:09 AM

Don't waste your time or money with this guy. Stick a fork in Alexander....he's done

salvaje50 | 05/09/08, 10:23 AM

I agree Packers4. He is fragile and not worth the trouble. His time has come and gone. The Bungles have Rudi Johnson. Why bring in Alexander? He'll just sprain his ankle and be inactive for 6 weeks after his first carry.

Shaun could be a great asset to the Bengals with Rudi as Starter and using him in short yardage situations....but don't forget about chris perry, a star in the making just needs to stay healthy

baseball_king_27 | 05/09/08, 10:56 AM

Dorsey is a pretty good back, esp. catching the ball out of the backfield (something Rudi doesn't excel at). He probably won't be released.

I just wish we had health at this position, as we've invested 1st/2nd rounders (i.e. Perry, Irons).

DS199 | 05/09/08, 11:09 AM

ds199, yeah dorsey really improved under Anderson's guidance. But who do you release to make a spot for Shaun. Watson, Mr Durability. Perry, who has all the talent in the world, but a fragile body. Kenny Iron who they hoped was Perry's or Watson's replacement until he went down. Or the newer guy to the team that possibly might still be available on waivers if Perry, Irons, or Alexander go down within the first month.

Bengals ran his rap sheet and felt Alexander isn't qualified yet! Better hit the clubs this weekend Shaun!

haha pw must have access to the twin cities' police reports.

Florida State still has the worst rep for football players. 36 players suspended for one game.

It'll be interesting to see the starting lineups for the Bengals' skill positions next year. I believe with a quarterback like #9, a great system that Cincy employs (no huddle), and well-coached players, our offense will prosper. We drafted 3 wideouts, signed a couple more CFAs, and picked up a young prospect that Seattle waived. To complement our passing game, we've got a (relatively) young line and a good mix at RB. Health will be an issue, as always, but I believe that Cincy can be a top 5 Offense.

Thoughts?

I guess Alexander is waiting on the Bengals to get out of jail.?

-Loki- | 05/09/08, 12:47 PM

I'm just remembering how fearful the Seahawks were of paying this guy because they had a feeling he'd stop producing after he got the money.....and he did. Julius Jones is going to be a massive upgrade for them.

Capsfan | 05/09/08, 02:24 PM

loki, no he was waiting on Kili Lefotu to post bail

pw | 05/09/08, 02:56 PM

We need to keep seperate tackling statistics on Alexander

How many times a defender tackled him...and how many times the grass tackled him.


Shouldnt the Bengals be more worried about fixing their defense??

I couldnt take being one of their fans..no offense.. it's like you've known whats wrong with your team the past 5 years but you barely do anything about it!

DaTruthSpeaksMayne | 05/09/08, 04:31 PM

It will be a waste of time and money signing Alexander. He has had his peak and now he going no where but down hill now.

kurtz59 | 05/09/08, 05:34 PM

if he wants to get signed by them he needs to get arrested first....its a prerequisite (sp?)

K G | 05/10/08, 03:05 AM

Perfect fit for the Patriots - can be another Corey Dillon reclamation project !!!!
