An entire regular season of football has nearly come and gone without Shaun Alexander involved, but the former league MVP still wants to play.
Speaking with Jim Rome today on Jim Rome is Burning, Alexander says he continues to work out in hopes of getting a call.
“If the right team calls, and they are ready to go, I’d be ready. I’ve been training non-stop to be ready to go,” Alexander said.
The former Seahawk (and Redskin) says his strength and speed is better than it was at the end of his playing career. But he also seemed to understand that getting back in the league was a long shot.
Asked about Seattle’s recent resignation of Seahawks G.M. Tim Ruskell, Alexander politely made it clear he was a “Holmgren guy” and wasn’t happy with the direction the team took over the last few years.
We wouldn’t expect anything different from the player that Holmgren selected with his first pick in Seattle.
And we wouldn’t expect Alexander to find another gig in the NFL, even if his old boss is running a team.
REALLY? REALLY?! He can not be serious.
Once upon a time there was a teenaged version of chapnasty (insert your name here) that played highschool football. Guess what, he (inserted name) still wants to play too. WOW! Florio, take the day off bro.
I work out every day too. I still don’t understand why no NFL team has called me.
Why didnt he play in the UFL?
“If the right team calls”
Hmm. Sounds like Shaun Alexander has taken Bernie Kosar on as his agent.
“If the right team calls, and they are ready to go, I’d be ready. I’ve been training non-stop to be ready to go,” Alexander said.
The Tuskers already have him on speed dial …. wait …. that’s Shaud Williams …. and he’s already on the team.
Shaun full of poo-poo. He became afraid of contact after the injury. There’s a reason he’s unemployed….he’s done.
wait , so is he talking about the madden on the playstation? or xbox?
“If the right team calls” in this case means “any team not from Cleveland.”
Hey I can create my own very UFL team with solid starters
Jeff George (QB)
Shaun Alexander (RB)
David Boston (WR)
ugh get a life morons!
Mr. Puss
hahaha, hey Shawn, I want to play too, but it wasnt in the cards, atleast you got millions, now STFU and move along
“Speaking with Jim Rome today on Jim Rome is Burning, Alexander says he continues to work out in hopes of getting a call.”
Maybe the Browns will call…… seems like a win-win for both.
bearsrule, SA was ALWAYS afraid of contact. So many times I wanted to jump through the TV and strangle him when did his shuffle/skate behind the line of scrimmage and then sat down when a defender got close. Rarely fought for the extra yard, started falling before contact was made. SOFT. That’s why he’s still sitting around like an ugly high school girl on a Saturday night waiting for the phone call that will never come.
Florio don’t waste your time with these post. This fool has nothing left. Can I get a post about MV7 returning home. Hope them fools give him the ovation he deserves. He packed that dome for 6 years the humanhilight film.
maybe he could put a banana peel next to adrian petersons bed, then minny would be begging for help from anyone
UFL would have been a Great move for Shaun if he’s for real about not being done.
All about that “timing” thing I guess.

What news was this? Stand up comedy nite, or is the news slow cuz the nfl network is showing a live $h!tt!e game?
Alexander’s career is over…enless Cedric Benson and Larry Johnson both get hurt. Then the Bengals will sign him and he will play a week later with 100 yards a game numbers. I’m kidding of course but who gave Ced or LJ a snowballs chance?

As a Browns fan, I sure hope you’re right. The last thing we need is another washed up RB who can get us a whopping yard at a time… like the one who was just put out to pasture (thank God…)
Shaun, listen man. No team is going to call you. If Warrick Dunn can’t find a team, your not going to find a team. Stick to bed time wrestling, lifting potato chips. The finer things in life. Enjoy your retirement
There u go again hooby, bobby, boobie what ever ur name is!! Put a bannana peel next to his bed , u are a little kid aren’t you!
