Shaun Alexander to the Bengals?

[gametime]

Sure would be interesting to hear how this played out in his home town. Let's just say "giving back" didn't go so well...

[HHSDad]

I've been hoping for this. I bet he'd even play for a one year league minimum contract, just to play in his hometown.

I think he would draw more fans but I wouldn't pay him anything close to what he's gonna want. The Bengals could use some depth but I feel like the only way they could get him is to overpay.

I've heard some details on this. Pretty shady...

Bring Shaun home!

I'll go ahead and finish your sentence for you.

 

..........to retire!

 

You guys can not be serious! He's old, hurt and unproductive, what possible reason would you want him on this already bad team?

They already sellout every game without him. I'm with 98 on this one. We don't need him.

I was all for this but then remembered that he's been on the cover of Madden...His career is OVER!

[UKMustangFan]

The fact that some fans actually want this to happen is insane....The Bengals need a running back, not a washed up injury prone guy.

If he is healthy he is better than half the RB's in the league.

And he hasn't been healthy in 3 years. If you noticed I included hurt in my reasons for not wanting him.

Can you elaborate?

I'm interested also.

Shaun has burned some bridges around here, I'm sure that GT won't elaborate any more than that.

[LCPATS]

Maybe they can bring him in to be the "Good Character" player that the Bengals so desperatly searched for last weekend.

I assume this in reference to the planned community center that was planned at the former Florence YMCA and never happened? If so, it's not exactly a secret.
