Statement of Shaun Alexander on His Release From the Seattle Seahawks
SEATTLE, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- We received the news from the Seahawks'
front office today that I have been released. While it really isn't a
surprise, this news marks a major transition in my life. I started my NFL
career inSeattle and hoped I could remain with the team through the rest of
my days as a player. That said, things change.
I will be playing for another NFL team this fall, and doing everything I
can to contribute. I am healthy, energized and looking forward to beginning
the next chapter of my NFL career.
I want to thank the Seahawks and Coach Holmgren for all they have done for
me and my family over the years. I have nothing but respect and affection for
the Seahawks staff, my teammates and the organization. I wish them the best.
I especially want to thank the Seahawks fans. You made me feel proud every
time I stepped on the field as a Seahawk. I look forward to hopefully
returning to Qwest Field one day to play against the Seahawks, and the
daunting task of facing the 12th Man --Seahawks fans are among the best.
Finally, Valerie and I want everyone to know that Seattle is home for us,
and it will remain so no matter where I play next. We have made far too many
wonderful friends to say goodbye. My family will remain in theSeattle area,
and when my days in the NFL do eventually come to an end, I plan to retire
here. Our hearts are woven into the fabric of this community, we are blessed
to be part of it, and we enjoy contributing to it in every way we can.
Thank you, Seattle. You have become a part of me and you will forever
remain in my heart.
