One of the top running backs in the league, and for many years the center piece of the Seahawks franchise, Shaun Alexander has almost ten thousand rushing yards, over a hundred touchdowns, and was on a Madden cover.

But, after being unexpectedly released earlier this offseason, he has been looking into other teams. For example, he has visited New Orleans and Cincinnati. There has also been reports that he has talked with the Broncos.

But which jersey will he be wearing next year?

If he were wearing a Saints jersey next year, how does this work?

With Reggie Bush and a past-his-prime Deuce McAllister, where would Shaun Alexander fit into this equation?

Well, I just can't picture it happening and I do not think the Saints will have Alexander for the 2008 season.

Next, the Bengals, with an, in his prime, Rudi Johnson, where would Alexander fit here?

I don't think he would unless the Bengals decided to trade him, but I think that possibility is too remote.

Lastly, the Broncos probably need a running back more then any other of the teams I mentioned, but Travis Henry is a decent back and at times can do damage.

Alexander would fit well into the Broncos roster, too bad that's the one team he hasn't visited yet.

Also, a couple questions for you, who would you rather have on your team, Henry or Alexander, or, Alexander or any of the Saints backs?

Where do you think he will go?
