Alexander will catch on with a team after week 1 as teams don't have to guarantee his salary. Anyone think he can be a productive fantasy back again this year ?

I took a shot and dropped Chad Jackson and picked him up.

No stretch there. I would drop Chad Jackson to pick up Merlin Olsen.

Wanted to give this bump for any new info
Apparantly, he has talked to several teams about signing, including the Bengals. From what I understand, if a player signs a deal after week 1, the contract is not guaranteed at all.
I would look for him to sign a deal next week. If not, then I don't think anyone will sign him, barring a lot injuries to the backfield.

"Alexander ready to sign with Cincy?
Shaun Alexander, RB SEA
News: Free agent running back Shaun Alexander told the Associated Press in an interview that he isn't going to retire. Instead, the 31-year-old Alexander believes he will sign with one of a handful of teams that have provided a "constant flow of calls," including his hometown Cincinnati Bengals. His extended family in Northern Kentucky already is making plans. "They want me to be Tres Siete," Alexander told The Associated Press by phone Friday.
Analysis: Alexander grew up in Florence, Ky., across the Ohio River from the Bengals' waterfront stadium. Two months ago, X-rays showed the cracked bone in his left foot that ruined his 2006 season and hampered him in '07 is finally fully meshed again. The broken left wrist he had to begin last season is fine, too. He said he's willing to share roles, that he doesn't need to carry the ball 30 times a game anymore. He just wants a Super Bowl title. Keep tabs on this situation, but now is a good time to take a flier on Alexander if you can stash him as a reserve."

Does he have anything left?

I have serious doubts. He looked done two years ago and we the Seattle faithful were keeping our fingers crossed. The finger crossing thing didn't work and it only got worse. My guess is that teams realize they already have better on their roster and practice squads. Bring in Alexander would just be throwing away money to try and put butts in seats with name recognition. Sounds like something Arizona would do.

somebody picked him up in 1 of my leagues today. I was curious as to why.

That's awfully big for a guy that doesn't have a job.

1. He is 31.
2. He missed offseason, training camp, preseason, week 1, and probably week 2 (at least) at this point.
3. He will be joining a new team and offense.
4. He has battled injury and ineffectiveness since 2005.
5. He will almost certainly be a backup or in RBBC at best.
I really don't see the appeal.

OL was terrible but Perry looked soft. I have seen him picked up in a couple leagues.
