Shaun Alexander Free Agent News
While Shaun Alexander isn’t technically a free agent yet, it’s just a matter of time before he’s released by the Seattle Seahawks. The latest rumor has Alexander being waived at the earliest on April 1st and the latest on June 2nd.
Once he hit the free agent market, there will be teams interested in signing him, even though Alexander struggled mightily in 2007. He averaged 3.5 yards per carry and had only four touchdowns.
However, it wasn’t too long ago that Alexander was one of the best backs in the league and one of the best players in all of fantasy football. In 2005, Alexander had an astonishing 27 touchdowns for the Seahawks. He made plenty of fantasy football owners smile that year.
In 2008, the fantasy football world is going to be weary of Alexander no matter where he ends up. He likely won’t be a starter and even if he is, he’ll likely last until the fourth or fifth round in fantasy football drafts.
One team that is said to be interested is the Cincinnati Bengals. If the Bengals don’t sign him, a veteran team such as the New York Jets could be interested in his service. And then there’s Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders, who seem to always need running back help these days.

Shaun Alexander still has a couple of good seasons left in him…and he has something to prove. He needs about 600 yards rushing to cross the 10,000 yard mark for his career…and he’s likely a future Hall of Famer with the stats he has, the fact he won a MVP, and did at least take his team to a Super Bowl birth.
