Seahawks sign Julius Jones to contract per NFL Network

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-08-2008, 02:00 AM

Just saw it on the ticker. Hmm.......TJ Duckett, now Julius Jones? Why? Is Shaun Alexander going somewhere? They already have Maurice Morris, who is pretty good in his own right.

BigRock · 03-08-2008, 02:02 AM

He's going on the slow boat to Shanghai.

BigChiefFan · 03-08-2008, 09:10 AM

This is what a team that actually prepares for the future does. It's never been seen before in these parts.

**Iowanian** · 03-08-2008, 09:27 AM

They're switching to the wishbone offense....

duh.

milkman · 03-08-2008, 09:37 AM

No, Shaun Alexander isn't going anywhere.

That's exactly the problem.

He hasn't gone anywhere in a couple of years.

Seahawks need to move on.

TJ Duckett is a scrub.

Merc......uh.......Maurice Morris and Julius Jones has the potential to give them a nice dynamic at RB.

BigVE · 03-08-2008, 10:08 AM

Alexander is gone. Seattle is smart. Chiefs suck. The sky is blue.

chagrin · 03-08-2008, 10:15 AM

Maurice Morris is about as equal as Julius Jones.
Julius Jones can't hit holes, can't break tackles and is perfect the way Dallas used him, part time; which is about the same as Maurice, so this is a good signing for RBBC team, if that's what they want.

Brock · 03-08-2008, 10:48 AM

Oh yeah I almost forgot what I was supposed to say.

"Yeah, man, another free agent the Chiefs didn't sign. What is this team coming to? Moan, groan."

What's that?

Sign an aging RB to an 8 year, $62 Million contract in 06 only to have him injured immediately after?

Actually, that sounds eerily familiar to something we have seen before with the Chiefs.

MTG#10 · 03-08-2008, 11:18 AM

Shaun Alexander is/was one of the most overrated RB's in NFL history.

Other than they are moving on from him already...how long will the Chiefs put LJ out there when he's not productive...

I dunno about that... he's not the GOAT, but he was really good prior to the injury.

There's about 3 seasons there that are pretty outstanding, but the rest are really kind of pedestrian.

Just over 500 yards shy of 10,000 rushing yards for his career in only 8 seasons.

112 total t.d.'s averages out to 14 per season.

4.3 ypc

Overrated? I guess it depends what you are rating him against. But if he never played another down I'd say it was far better than an average career as a rb in the NFL.

StcChief · 03-08-2008, 12:56 PM

Alexander had a good run but injury made the RBBC an option in Seattle
