We have Clinton Portis...Ladell Betts...Rock...and up and coming Mason who will turn some heads this year...why would you want dead weight like Shaun Alexander on the team? It isn't a position of ANY need. I would rather have a backup DE or OL at the veteran minimum instead of an aged runningback whose better days are far behind him. We have one of the best running back corp's in the league...why would you want to mess with that chemistry. Picking him up would send a bad message to the team.

You are new so I will let you in on some advise:

GET USED TO IT. also, mentioning it will do nothing b/c for every rational thinking Skins fan out there (like you, as I assume) there are three Madden playing retards who think we should pick up every big name or potential big name FA out there. Try doing a thread search on any big name FA that is out there. I dare you.
