At a time when most league observers believe that running back Shaun Alexander’s career with the Seattle Seahawks will soon be ending, it turns out that “soon” could mean “in a half hour.”

The Seattle Seahawks have called a press conference for 3:30 p.m. EDT Friday.  The team hasn’t hinted at the reason for the move, but the Tacoma News-Tribune speculates that the subject of the presser could be Alexander.

Coach Mike Holmgren and team president Tim Ruskell are scheduled to participate in the event. 

Stay tuned.
