Shawne Merriman

[Swarly]

Shawne Merriman might not be resigned this off-season, and might end up a free agent. How would ya'll feel about trying him out? His value decreased substantially since he didn't perform well this season(coming off a serious injury can do that) so he'd likely be easy to sign to a cheap contract.

I don't know how he'd work in our system, but he's a big, fast, athletic linebacker with outstanding work ethic. Also, if Peppers were to leave, Merriman might make a great DE in our 4-3 system.

just food for thought, something to talk about. boring off-season is boring :\

Only if Tila Tequlia brings her dead girlfriend.

[Darth Biscuit]

Nah, we're good on linebackers and Merriman is a douche.

[SorthNarolina]

I wouldn't go nuts if we used our first pick to draft a fast atheltic LB. But we can't invest the money it would require to sign a good FA. We need that money for WR and DT.

No thanks, washed up.

No thanks, washed up.

at 25? he just came off a very bad injury. and like I said before, his value plummeted, he wouldn't cost that much. ESPECIALLY if Peppers leaves, he'd be a good 4-3 DE to experiment with. He's got the body for it.

He hasn't been the same since that surgery, not sure if he will ever get his mojo back.

[rayzor]

he won't get his roids back either = done.

[rico6]

Like rayzor said.

He hasn't been the same since losing the Roids.

Coincidence? I highly doubt it.

[Razzy]

No. Unless you want a player who thinks he's the poo and won't put in 100% effort.

[Kevin Greene]

Since his knee injury he has not shown he can get it done.

[Boltergeist]

Merriman's in that restricted limbo anyways. I'd guess if the team goes that route, they'll put the 1st/3rd tag on him, but I wouldn't entirely be against putting just a first tag and seeing if anyone bites.

We already have Peppers for this...Shawne was only good when he was on the roids, after testing positive his play plummeted quickly. If we did get him I doubt Beason would allow him to express his ego as much. Beason might be of a smaller build but hell he was man enough to call out Pep...

[Jangler]

No. Unless you want a player who thinks he's the poo and won't put in 100% effort.

And he has the herpes....or so I heard.
