Default Alexander released??? WOW

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080423/...l_alexander_dc

I can't believe this, didn't he have a monster year two years ago??

Probably sick of his hilarious attitude but still.....

Salary Dump, I think he was still in the beginning of a very big contract. Between injuries and losing Steve Hutchenson to the Vikings he was a totally different player from the guy that won the MVP a few years ago.

Alexander was never a fan of taking alot of hits. Once he got the big payday, there were many people including the Seahawks Org. who were worried about his effort. He was an excellent RB and could probably help some team with 12-15 carries a game.

He was never a fan of the weight room. Therein lies the problem.

A tremendous natural talent with the work ethic of a union member.

Old, slow and hurt doesn't work in the NFL.

He gained 1,600 yards the last two seasons. Got paid $15,000,000 to do it. He's got no complaints.
