I think we should... He says he's in great shape and we could let him battle it w/ Haralson/#44 can't think of his name, lol..
Worst case scenerio we cut him before the regular season starts anyways.
But w Aldon and Ahmad hurt I think we should seriously look at Merriman. |
Reports out of TC said he was looking great. The reason given for his release is he's not suited for the Bills new 4-3 alignment. Worth looking into BUT not at the $4 mil he was slated for IMO.

It would be good for depth.

I wouldn't be against this move at all. Like was said, it'd have to be at the right price, but he could excel in a 3rd down pass-rushing type role.

I won't mind having him but he'll want a lot of money... plus were set at starters... and we can get cheap back up in bachtiari or however you spell his name..

No thanks, tons of money for someone who will only be in on 3rd downs and he's one knee injury away from never walking again lol. No.

If the price is right you can never have enough pass rushers.

Basically what everyone else has said. He would be a great addition as another rotational pass rusher, but money is always the chief issue.. Any kind of one year contract would be ideal, especially an incentive laden one.

We're finally at a place where veterans might sign with us for a shot at a championship. If he takes the minimum to play a back-up role, I could see it.

People do realize he's had a total of 5 sacks since 2008, correct?

Good one! Yeah, Merriman was the prototypical outside pass rusher ... several years ago. He hasn't shown almost anything these past 2 or 3 years. If he wants to sign for minimum plus incentives then maybe he can beat out Johnson and Bahktiari.
