Alexander was drafted in 2000 and became Seattle's lead back in 2001 and has performed well over the years and been to the Pro Bowl three times. His performance started falling after his MVP performance in 2005, mainly because he has been plagued with injuries since then.
News of his release isn't much of a surprise because there has been plenty of talk of it since Seattle signed two other running backs, TJ Duckett and Julius Jones, a couple months ago. With them recently signed and also Maurice Morris on the roster, who had been splitting time pretty equally with Alexander by the end of last season, the position was looking pretty deep and talk had really increased of the possibility of Alexander getting released. While the news wasn't much of a surprise, it is def sad to see him go as he has really helped the Seahawks throughout the years and was def a large factor in our getting to the Superbowl a few years ago. He'll be missed here in Seattle, but he still plans to play, so hopefully his career continues successfully!
