Alexander to Bengals?

The Bengals are on a list of teams that former MVP Shaun Alexander is calling. He says he would like to come home to finish out his career.

I think it would be a good idea if he were to come here at a reasonable salary thats incentive based.  The guy is 31 years old and just past his prime, but is only 2 seasons removed from his MVP year.  With Irons looking nowhere near being ready, it might be worth a try. What do you guys think?

I agree. I doubt this will happen. But if it did for a reasonable price I wouldn't be too upset.  There are plenty of examples of RBs who everyone thought were washed up and that only motivated them to prove everyone wrong.

I am praying Chris Perry can come back healthy and if so I think we would have some VERY talented running backs to compete for carries.  I do agree that we don't have the best O-Line ESPECIALLY for run-blocking too.  But you never know.

The only way I see this happening is if they are done with Rudi and cut him, then sign Alexandar to a deal worth maybe one million with incentives, but the Bengals never cut overpriced, past their prime veterans they hold them tight and let them live out their contract to the detriment of salary cap flexiblity.

Players that should be cut or restructered to cost less.

Willie- restructure

Rudi- cut

Dexter Jackon- cut

John Thorton- cut

These guys marked cut could be gone and money saved.  They are all making more than they are worth and have depth behind them.  Thorton could be brought back for less but he's done. Jackson is old, and Rudi will never be the same. Cincy needs to be more like the successful teams, New England, and let go of aging stars and bring in those that fit the scheme for less money. Darwin Walker and Ian Scott are both as good as Thorton and just signed elsewhere for much less money.  If you cut these player then the cap space would have been there to trade chad and build more depth. What do I know? I just watch other teams do what I wish the Bengals would.
