What the.......
He carried that team. Boo Seahawks.
He's not washed up yet. Whoever gets him will have a brother on their hands with something to prove. He was always really great at "BooooYA" in Bama. He is such a team player, class act, awesome individual.
Good! He had way too many injuries. Besides that, whenever he is carrying the ball and anyone even TOUCHES him, he falls down. Last season showed him to be VERY, VERY replaceable.
Keep an eye on him. He won't lay down. He carried that freaking team to the Superbowl, just like he carried Bama without a coach.
If he can get healthy and stay healthy, he still has a career ahead of him. Hopefully, he has learned the valuable lesson of fighting on to gain a few extra yards after tackle attempts. As for last few years, he has carried neither the team, nor the football, to any great extent.
After the Seahawks lost the best left guard in the league (Steve Hutchinson) in free agency, Alexander didn't have as many gaping holes to run through. That, combined with age, started to make it tough on him. He deserves one more shot somewhere else.
