The Facts:
Alexander, who has been taking part in private workouts in Alabama, has yet to sign the one-year franchise tender, hoping rather that his agent and the Seahawks will agree to a long-term deal or that the Seahawks will trade him. "I'm asking him to come in," running backs coach Stump Mitchell said. "I'm like, 'Shaun, we got 1,700 (rushing) yards last year; we probably can get 2,000 this year.' But he just laughs at that and says he thinks we're going to get something done in early July and be there for training camp."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Seahawks talked to other teams before the draft last month, but nothing materialized. The Seahawks can't negotiate with Alexander until July 15, but coaches are hopeful that he will be at training camp in late July -- under a long-term contract or the $6.32 million tender. ... Without Alexander on hand, Maurice Morris and Kerry Carter got extensive work in the team's first mini-camp -- Morris with the No. 1 offense.
