Spoon and Foster or Shaun Alexander

Meanwhile Foster is what, 6 years younger and was somewhat healthy this year.

 

I believe (although I'm not a GM) that the value of Witherspoon and Fosters contract will probally be pretty close to what Shaun get's by himself. That's why I posed the question.

I believe Shaun will get a deal something like one of these 2 with more guaranteed with probally 33-40% guaranteed.

Portis' deal was for $50 million over eight years, but a good chunk of that total is toward the end of the contract, money Portis is unlikely to ever see. The benchmark for running backs is LaDainian Tomlinson's $60 million deal signed last season. About one-third of that total is guaranteed.
(LT had 21 million in guarantees)

Lamont Jordan signed a 5 yr 27.5 million dollar contract and I bet that is what or near what Fosters agent will try to get

Morgan signed a 5 yr 28 million dollar contract and I would think that's about the same # that Rosenhaus is shooting for with Spoon.

 

Well in that case give me Foster and Spoon.

 

The Seahawks might not have a choice in the matter in keeping Alexander , when he signed his tender this year, it was worded that they CAN'T use the franchise tag on him. If Shaun wants to leave they can do nothing about it except overpay what anybody else is offering and hope he takes it.

 

2 or 3 years younger

 

And Shaun has NEVER missed a game due to injury and I can only remember him leaving 2 early because of injury. Last year he sprained his knee and the "concussion" against Washinton.

 

I'm pretty sure Seattle isn't going to re-sign Alexander anyway. Moreover, I don't know that we really have room to sign any of these guys except maybe Foster. We're already pretty tight against the cap and still have nearly 20 roster spots left to fill.

 

I know I have said this a few times but once again, giving Morgan 28 million was idiotic.

Thinking back on it I would have rather given Moose the money instead of Whale. Whale did not have the impact I expected this year. We can not run the ball and our pass protection is average. I expected him to be the guy we ran behind all the time and the anchor. He really did not do that. Plug Mathis in at one guard and keep Moose and we are probably a better team.

All that is hindsight though. I was in favor of letting Moose go and brining in Whale when we did it.

 

Until he sprained his shoulder, got turf toe, and broke his leg.

 

Serious question. Would Alexander rushed for over 100 yards behind the cats line yesterday?
