Alexander to visit Monday

From Bengals.com:

The agent for Shaun Alexander said Thursday that his client is scheduled to visit the Bengals on Monday, but Jim Steiner stressed the visit is "very preliminary."

"Shaun wants to get an idea how the Bengals would use him and I'm sure the Bengals would like to talk to him," Steiner said. "But there is interest on both sides."

Alexander, who turns 31 after the last preseason game, isn't the same back that led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl a few years ago and any deal would be contingent on a physical.

The Bengals don't have much to give Alexander because of their salary cap situation, and he also has to figure out how he wants to get paid after years as one of the top paid backs in the league.

If the Bengals are going to make a move, it would probably be before on-field voluntary workouts start May 13.
