The Cincinnati Bengals, Shaun Alexander is a Boone County High School Graduate who grew up a bengals fan, this is where he wants to be. Kinda Like when the reds signed Ken Griffey Jr. he took a cut because it is where he wanted to be. I think Shaun would do the same thing.
It makes sense from the bengals prespective for a number of reasons. 1. Rudi Johnson has been nicked up, Kenny Watson isn't an every down back, and Shaun could ad to a miserable run game in cincinnati. 2. The face of the franchise, Chad Johnson wants out, enter the new poster boy for the city, hometown hero Shaun Alexander. 3. The bengals have a terrible off the field reputation, Well shaun is a guy who in the off season comes to speak at area schools in the cincinnati, Northern Kentucky area, he is in the community in a positive way, and could be a positive role model for some younger players that the bengals have that need that positive guidence once they enter the league. 4. He isn't going to break the bank. In all actuallity he will probably sign a one year incentive based deal because the Seahawks still have to pay him millions in gurantees so he isn't strapped for cash and is just looking to prove his value in the league this year after a subpar season riddled with injuries last year.
