Seahawks to Release Shaun Alexander?

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly have told Shaun Alexander that he is going to be released, making him a free agent.

The reason I'm mentioning this is because Detroit will probably take a look at signing Alexander.  The need for additional running backs is there, and although he hasn't been very productive recently, added depth wouldn't hurt.

I would say Alexander will not end up in Detroit as his health is a concern and he hasn't been productive lately.  However, if the Lions could get him for a cheap enough price, then don't be shocked if he does become a Lion eventually.  If anything happens it will be after the draft, so the Lions will get a chance to find a RB in the draft before doing anything else.
