Shawne Merriman

[Happy Panther]

I'm assuming there would be no reason for the panthers to get him but i wonder where he will end up

[Dpantherman]

off the top of my head-- Jets, Raiders, Packers (wildcard- they are decimated with injury), idk

according to this the Jets didn't place any claims

Schefter mentioned MIA, BAL, and SF (DC Manusky was LB coach in SD) as possible landing spots.

[SOJA]

I really think he ends up with New England and revitalizes his career under a cheap contract, its a total Billecheat move

[thefuzz]

My best guesses would be Denver and Washington.

a surprise suitor

Shocker: hearing Bills strongly leaning toward claiming Merriman. Only way it doesn't happen is if they change their minds last minute.

[thefuzz]

That sounds pretty strange. I wonder what the connection is...nevermind, they need asses in the seats.

I forgot about this connection til Acee's tweet mentioned it

Source says Buffalo, which has first shot, is claiming Shawne Merriman off waivers. He'll be reunited with Buddy Nix

[Dpantherman]

Why the fug did they do that?...the only reason I can think of, is to keep him out of Miami or New England, which doesn't really matter because Buffalo is out of it. oh well...

Ah...Nix.

Forgot about that.

[Boltergeist]

others made claims too

FWIW, Tampa Bay and Miami also put in waiver claims for LB Shawne Merriman.

[thefuzz]

Shut him down for the season now. Have him train in the complex during the offseason and offer him an incentive heavy contract for 2011 and 2012. You could have a serious force on your hands for two full seasons for just a little bit of cabbage.

You have to remember how young he is.

Bills.
