I think the Alexander situation is one where if they can get away with franchising him so they can get something for him, then great, but if they had to use the tag on Jones or Hasselbeck, they'd use it there first. Can't picture them using the tag on Lucas (heckuva pay raise), but it could also come down to how much cap room they want to use on Alexander because of the number of free agents they need to try and re-sign.
If Hass signs a reasonable deal and talks with Lucas go well, I could see them tagging Alexander and getting one more year out of him or dishing him (as a franchise deal wouldn't be a cap hit at all once he's gone, I think as there is no bonus?).
Either way, hopeful signs to get Jones locked. Now if we do have a RB, he'll still have one of the best left sides in the game to run behind.
