TT is cheap, and rarely spends big money on free agents. It sounds like, at best, Alexander will have nothing but low dollar offers, so what a deal for TT. Sure Grant "blowed it up" last year, but he was a three year practice squad player and now that teams have footage of him, they will have a better feel of how to shut him down. Alexander's presence and experience would be welcome to a the weakest running corps in the North...if not the whole league. signed-not a Grant believer I wouldn’t be surprized to see Alexander go to Green Bay.

The only drawback was when he ditched the YMCa, but who can blame him, that dump was doomed from the beginning. If the Bengals get a new indoor facility, and clean up their team image, they will always be able to get top notch free agents due to them having a franchise QB and a players coach in Marv. shaun alexander is a charater guy, the only thing he did wrong was go down early instead of getting tackled, and whined about not winning the rushing title, but i cant blame the guy, nfl careers are short, and you must attain all the stats, get all the money , and win as many games ASAP before your time is done, also shaun is good with the media, doesn’t cause beef in public, and is always smiling, he isnt grumpy like corey dillon.

It's not that the Bengals are cheap when it comes to this issue; most facilities are paid for with tax dollars. It costs a lot of money for an indoor facility and Hamilton County voters just paid for two new stadiums (Great American and Paul Brown)and Cincinnati is TRYING to get a new riverfront project done, but I doubt that will happen either. Good question on the GM front, and hopefully this year we will develop some good LB's. DE is sound on one side with Geathers, the bigger problem is at DT. As for Alexander, it would be great to have our hometown boy wearing stripes but I agree with most of the comments from the original posting saying Shaun is just too old to bring in. We have a lot of younger running backs in a crowded and injured backfield already. Why would any Bengal fan want an older back to mix in with that? Truth is they don't, they're only blinded by the fact he is from Boone County across the river. The Bengals have reached an agreement with UC to build an indoor facility.
