Will RB Shaun Alexander be signed by the Chicago Bears now that they have waived RB Cedric Benson?
The odds of him coming to the bears are slim at best. And really he has no business with the bears. His upside is gone, he is no longer breaking runs, nor would he be good at mentoring the two younger backs that the bears currently have on there team. He really isn’t looking to play the game again or prove his worth, he is at the end of his career if it hasn’t already passed and is looking for that last pay check, before he takes a job up in the booth! I hope the bears do themselves a favor and don’t even humor the idea of bring him in for a workout.
The Bears don’t need him for any reason. He doesn’t need to mentor, we already have a mentor. Adrian Peterson will be a great mentor. Sure he doesn’t have a lot of experience at the RB position, but he knows how to work hard, plays great special teams and is probably near the top of the NFL for blocking backs. It’s all the mall things that Peterson does that will help young guys like Forte be successful NFL players. I do see the Bears going after a more veteran RB this offseason, but I don’t think it will be Shaun Alexander. I see them going after a guy more like Kevin Jones or recently dropped Travis Henry.
