Alexander Cut

"The Washington Redskins have released running back Shaun Alexander after four games and 11 carries with the team. The 31-year-old former league MVP had provided insurance while injuries prevented Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts from practicing. Portis and Betts continue to battle through injuries, but the Redskins apparently felt they needed Alexander's roster spot to help with depth on the defensive line (ESPN)."

Shaun Alexander is a joke, he was good for a couple years, then got his contract and crapped out. If you watch him, you can tell he doesn't want to get hit anymore. I don't know if there has been a RB that showed so obviously that he wasn't playing hard. I have seen it from receivers, but they can get away with it. At this point, I don't think you'll see Alexander on another team, unless someone gets really desperate, but I would take an undrafted RB over Alexander any day.

Shaun Alexander Signed To Redskins

The Redskins reached agreements with halfback Shaun Alexander, punter Ryan Plackemeier and safety Mike Green Tuesday.
Alexander signed a one-year deal with the idea of being around until Ladell Betts recovers from a knee injury. Betts is expected to miss around three weeks with the injury. Alexander will back up Clinton Portis during Betts' absence.

Who cares? Shaun Alexander sucks, he won't do anything. I would rather have Cedric Benson than him.
