Question about Alexander

[Jmac]

Let me get this straight. He was on IR for the 2015 season (also suspended for third time). They cannot cut him while on IR, but must wait untill he is off IR. They also cannot offer an injury settlement whIle on IR. Does that suspension start whIle on IR or after. D.G won't take him back and he should not. Funny thing is, on Twitter he talks like every thing is just fine. Talk about living in fantasy land.

Id think Gettleman has a doomsday clock in his office labeled "Countdown until I can release Frank Alexander"

I believe Alexander is an UFA. He would still be suspended even if a team signs him but we are done with him.

Bye now, Frank.

[electro's horse]

Alexander is toast.

His 12 month suspension definitely began while he was still on the IR.  Nov 24th, I think.  So, he will be suspended until late in the season.  Can't see him being picked up by any team this year.

Whom is this Frank fellow?  What an idiot.  

[TheSpecialJuan]

I stand corrected. Alexander is a RESTRICED free agent. Either way, we are not going to tender him a contract and he will become an UFA.

Sucks, he had plenty of potential.

He's a restricted free agent. Wouldn't be surprised if we tender him at the lowest amount since it won't affect us at all other than not letting another team get him. Since he's suspended the entire year he wouldn't be getting paid and wouldn't count towards the 53 man roster. May not give him another shot but really no reason not to tender him and let him sit on our suspended list the entire year.

Under that scenario, what would happen when his suspension ends in late November?

Good way to look at that.
