SHAUN TO GET A NEW GIG, FINALLY?

Months after being unceremoniously cut by the Seahawks, former league MVP Shaun Alexander might soon be reuinted with a guy who knows a thing or two about him.

Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Alexander will visit the Redskins on Tuesday. If he passes a physical, he could be under contract by the end of the day.

The ‘Skins are concerned about a knee injury to backup running back Ladell Betts.

Alexander previoulsy drew interest from the Bengals, Lions, and Saints. He expressed optimism that he’d have a new team after the first week of the season, but remains unattached.

In Washington, Alexander would play for former Seahawks quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn, who returned to Seattle in 2001, a year after Alexander was drafted.

I heard the reason Alexander wasn't signing with anyone was because he didn't want the backup role? Personally I'm not too fond of this move but I will give him the chance to prove me wrong. I won't be suprised if he plays the way he did his last year in Seattle though.

SA might not be a bad pickup and provides good depth until Betts is back.

Wow. I smell IR coming for one Malcolm Kelly....

Reason I say this is because if we sign Alexander I don't think he'll be cut in a few weeks when Ladell comes back.

At the price, I think this is a good move because if Alexander proves everyone wrong and doesn't run like a pussy, we have a GREAT backup RB at a bargain price through next year.

And if he sucks, we cut him.
