Newsbreakers
September 16, 2008
Shaun Alexander and Cedric Benson visited with the Lions Tuesday, according to ProFootballTalk.com. It's unclear whether either will get a contract.

Our View:Alexander seemed to think he would have signed with the Bengals by now, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Benson has received little interest on the open market. We're not sure why Detroit has any interest, given that they've already brought in one has been running back in Rudi Johnson.
September 7, 2008
The Louisville Courier-Journal reports that Alexander believes his signing with an NFL team is imminent. The Bengals are one of the candidates to sign him.

Our View:Even if Alexander does sign now, his impact probably won't be felt for at least a few weeks. He could be worth stashing on your bench but nothing more.
September 6, 2008
Shaun Alexander stated he is healthy and ready to play football, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He had been working out at the University of Washington and said, "I went back to the basics. I’m in the best shape of my life. Speed, explosiveness and quickness. I don’t think that will be an issue."

Our View:He previously indicated that his signing with a team is imminent, and has been getting a constant flow of calls. He is worthy of a flier if you lack depth at running back.
September 5, 2008
The AP reports that Shaun Alexander has no plans of retiring and calls his signing with a team "imminent." He also claims that he has been fielding "a constant flow of calls."

Our View:The Bengals have been one of the teams rumored and they make some sense as Cincinnati is his hometown, they have a mess on their hands at the position, and they could seemingly benefit from a "character" guy. Alexander is 31 and he has not been effective in two seasons. If he does sign, he would likely be a second or third string back and hold minimal fantasy value.
July 1, 2008
Running back Shaun Alexander claims seven teams have contacted him, reports the Orlando Sentinel. "I'm asking God to close doors that need to be closed and open up whatever needs to be open so I can go there, win a Super Bowl, impact the team, impact the community," he told the paper.

Our View:If seven teams have contacted him, they are acting slowly on offering him a deal. Still, it seems logical to think he would be playing somewhere in the NFL next season, though obviously in a back-up role. Alexander may yet have some value for fantasy squads, depending on where he lands.
