Shaun Alexander

[BamaJ]

How do yall feel about this situation. It seems Shaun is willing to hold out for a long-term contract. Man, I hope he gets traded. I hate Holmgren!!!

I know due to VERY GOOD sources that Shaun is wanting :

A. Atlanta
B.Tennessee
C. Cincinnatti

to pick him up.....period.....and has for a couple of years. He was at the Atlanta pre-season game talking to big wigs the night Vick broke his leg...

after all is said and done, Seattle could keep him with a long-term deal, but this franchise player/one year deal mess is gonna ruin them.

Normally I don't like players holding out, but in this situation I agree with him 100% He said he wanted to sit down with them a year ago and discuss a deal and they blew him off. Now they put the franchise tag on him and don't want to pay him what he deserves let alone a multi-year deal? Whomever they have for a GM is an idiot...

Well, I don't agree with the money thing because these guys get paid ridiculous ammounts anyway. However, if I had a player of Alexander's calibre and he wanted to stay with me for the long haul, there ain't enough BS in congress to keep me from signig him RIGHT AWAY!!! It's like having Steve Spurrier come to Bama and say he wants to be the OC for the next 20 years. Would you really even have to think about it??? I'd love to see Shaun at Tennesse or Atlanta. Cincy and Tennessee have pretty promising RB's (Rudi Johnson and Chris Brown), however, Atlanta has a washed-up, old Warrick Dunn. I'm not a Falcons fan, nor am I a Cincy fan, but I am a Titans fan. I'd love to see him in Nashville, but I don't know that they'd go after him. Then again, he's better than Brown, so I don't know. We'll see soon enough.
