Alexander cut

[Chester Marcol]

This guy is the Mel Kiper of Unavision.

What about the Chris Berman of Unavision? Brett "hace mucho e" Favre "lejos"

My apologies to Mad for murdering the spanish language. I'm a fargin bastage.

Of course, an eight year deal was a pipe dream So what the heck kind of a cap hit is Seattle taking on him???

Just checked - $15 mil signing bonus (not bad, really) which means they take 6/8ths of that, or $11.25mil hit this year. Ouch is all I can say.

nope thats wrong guiness

the maximum you can spread the signing bonus over is 5 years

so theres 3/5ths left or 9 million dollar hit this year. or they can use it at the new june cut rule for one player and take a 3 million dollar hit this year and 6 million next year

i think

I bet that makes them feel SO much better

You're right, I forgot about the 5yr thing. A $9 mil hit is still a real kick in the crotch though.

Alexander is absolutely done. He seems like the type of guy who worked to get the money and then just lost all motivation. He's slow and doesn't finish his runs at all. I wonder if anyone will pick him up.

It takes a lot of nerve to say no to a productive player, so I can understand the Seahawks predicament. Look at all the flak Ted caught for letting Ahman go last year.

He didn't get much flak for not matching Ahman's deal. Those Texans paid crazy money in most people's opinions. He only caught flak when the run game stalled in the first 8 games. Once Grant started to shine it was like "Ahman who...?".
