Shawne Merriman!

[LegandofthePack15]

The guy has been released by the Bills. If he clears waiver, should the Pack sign him?

I think they should. Pack still have no bona fide pass rushing OLB other than Matthews. Merriman would provide depth.

[Zool]

Nope. Guy has been a shadow of his pre-steroid suspension self. He can't stay on the field. His bona fide pass rush days are far behind him.

[BobDobbs]

He's terrible. Erik Walden is way better than him. He's got 5 sacks in 4 years. Used to be an asshole that would terrorize quarterbacks, now he's just an asshole.

he's been terrible since he got busted for roids

its pretty clear to me that he was only ever good in the first place because he was on the juice

[Guiness]

No way anyone brings him into camp now, which would guarantee his salary for the season. He had a solid second chance with the Bills, and couldn't hang on. Anyone know how good the Bill's LB corps is? I assume he's done.

[Lurker64]

No. You don't really take a risk on a declining player when you don't have to.

[KYPack]

Yup.

I'm with the consenus.

Ol' Shawne is all played out.

He might get one shot with a team after week 1, but I doubt it.

[George Cumby]

Remember when people complained about TT picking Rodgers instead of Merriman?

[rbaloha1]

Can someone who actually watched Merriman play recently provide an unbiased assessment.

[hoosier]

The unbiased assessment is that you don't need to have watched Merriman to know he is through. Getting released from Buffalo is all you need to know.

[Brandon494]

Yea hes just what we need!

Remember when people complained about TT picking Rodgers instead of Merriman?

Merriman was picked 12th overall in 2005. Rodgers was 25th. Thompson didnt draft Rodgers over Merriman. However, it was reported that Thompson would've drafted Merriman or DeMarcus Ware if he could've traded up. Luckily Rodgers fell to the Pack.

Merriman is only 28. Given the bums playing OLB for the Pack, it wouldn't hurt to bring in Merriman for a look see or whatnot.

[ThunderDan]

Let's look at Merriman since his PED suspension.

2007 - 15 games, 68 tackles, 12.5 sacks
2008 - 1 game, 2 tackles
2009 - 14 games, 36 tackles, 4 sacks
2010 - 3 games, 6 tackles
2011 - 5 games, 9 tackles, 1 sack

Those last 4 years of performance scream sign him!
