Shaun Alexander

Three years ago, he was the NFL’s MVP, leading his team to a Super Bowl appearance. On Wednesday, Shaun Alexander was given a pink slip. Such is the painful roller coaster life of an NFL player.

Shaun Alexander is 30 years old. He’s completed just two of the eight year/ $62 million deal he signed in March 2006. Both of those seasons were sucky as he suffered a broken foot, broken wrist, sprained knee and sore butt.

Shaun runs like he’s got a poopy diaper and we saw this decision coming from a mile away. Holmgren and the boys missed the boat on this 8 year/ $62 million budget bust.
