I guess I don't really think he'd be much of a change of pace. I'd take Green over him any day.

I still want to play too! I just don't think any NFL team cares. I am afraid that's the feeling teams feel about Shaun as well. It's a shame, I really liked him too.

Same. He's a great guy, but he's done. He showed that in 2007 with Seattle and in 2008 with the Redskins. It's not going to get any better, anymore, I'm afraid.

Wanting to play, and being capable of playing, are two very seperate things. Guy was an absolute hack his last several years...and even in his prime, he always ran soft for a big man.

Pass.

I hate Shaun Alexander with a passion. Overrated to the maximum. Thought he was a waste of a large frame.

He had an awesome year or two. And that was it. Not to mention the offensive line he ran behind.

Yeah, he fell off the end of the earth real fast. Good one year and complete crap the next...maybe at best a 3rd stringer for a very very desperate team.

Well....i like the guy ALOT! (That doesn't mean i'd want him to play here now)
True story.....back when the Seahawks were in the super bowl, they played the Packers in GB (2005). They played some of their scrubs, and had nothing to play for. We won. I was lucky enough to be there and got a picture of Alexander scoring what at the time was an NFL record for TD's in a season. I made 2 copies, ans sent them to him, asking him to autograph one and to keep the other for himself. I also sent a SASE to make it easy for him. I didn't really expect to get it back. But between the NFC title game and the super bowl, i got the signed photo back in the mail!
I thought that was pretty nice of him, especially considering what he was busy with at the time.

I don't think that any NFL team really cares that he still wants to play.
