Just thought I'd point that out.

Just for the record, I'm not saying to sign him. The man no longer has it. But Alexander is a true class act, and would be great for the team in terms of his professionalism. He would waste a space as an RB, but as a RB coach, or some sort of mentor to the rookies, I'd take him in a heartbeat. There is too much "hate" for a man that was a great player, a great running back, and a great person. From 2001-2005 he was GREAT. After that injury he wasn't the same. Now it's time for him to fade into retirement, or sign on as a mentor / coach.

He has a great foundation as well:
SA FOUNDATION
He has a quote in this link about his foundation that I love:
Salt Shakers: Shaun Alexander


For those that don't know, this is Alexanders foundation in summation (on his website):

You got me.

I should have added, "since 06", because that is what I meant.

No problem...
but let me ask you, would you add him if only for mentoring / coaching purposes and being a bench warmer and getting under 20 carries this year?

I would not spend a 53 man roster spot on him for any reason, but to have him around the team (preseason contract or none) -- I probably wouldn't care either way. If Zorn thinks he can help, I'm sure he'll find a way to get him in here.
