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...

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
