Default Patriots agree to terms with ILB Eric Alexander on a one-year deal
Quote:
Sources close to Eric Alexander, who is currently out of the country, have indicated that the linebacker and team have agreed in principle to a one-year contract, with bonuses.

Alexander, a member of the Patriots the past four seasons, was a restricted free agent. He played in just the season opener last year before ultimately being placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The Pats could have offered a low tender, at $1.01 million, or not tendered him, making Alexander an unrestricted free agent. Instead, the two sides have agreed on a new one-year deal that is lower than the tender.
Alexander agrees to deal

I think this is a good deal. $1 million seemed like too much for Alexander, but I'm glad to have him back for his ST play.

Yep. I don't believe this guarantees him a spot at all, but a healthy Alexander is still an excellent STer.

I hope BB gets the message soon then, maybe he can back out of the deal.

I think he's solid depth. Not everyone is a superstar when it comes to the depth chart.

He is not a waste of space on ST. I agree with others that his spot is not guaranteed, but this deal is good whether we decide to keep him or not.

"eh." more clearly, "eh." As long as he never, ever covers Dallas Clark again......ack, he's just not worth getting worked up about one way or the other.

No one says he'll make the team. At least he'll get a chance to compete for a spot.
