The Facts:
Mike Reinfeldt, the Seahawks' vice president of administration, spoke with one of Alexander's agents, Jim Steiner. The conversation was characterized as the Seahawks letting Alexander know they still want to talk about re-signing him to a long-term contract. From mid-March until yesterday, the team could not negotiate with Alexander, as per NFL rules governing teams' use of the franchise tag.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With training camp less than two weeks away, Alexander is almost certain not to be there. He is seeking an agreement to a long-term contract and told The Seattle Times earlier this month that he does not intend to sign the team's one-year franchise tender of $6.32 million.
