Shawne Merriman

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 :\

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.

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

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...

    • My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us
    • Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough
    • I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
