Watching Shaun's visits

Former NFL MVP and Seattle Seahawk Shaun Alexander is visiting New Orleans after visiting Cincinnati.

How does this impact the Raiders? Simple.

If the Raiders truly believe they can trade LaMont Jordan, they'll be monitoring where Alexander visits and and checking to see if those teams would be interested in taking on Jordan.

Because Jordan took a paycut last year, I would be surprised to see him do that again to facilitate a trade. But if Deuce McAllister's knee still isn't right (and the Saints were rumored to be interested in Jordan) the Saints will be in the market for a veteran back.

So follow Shaun's visits. Where he doesn't land could be where Jordan goes for a late-round pick in next year's draft.

But I still think this will end with Jordan simply being released.
