Lights Out for Merriman.....

[SLVR and Black]

I read an article that said owners stood to lose over a billion dollars if there is a lockout. I'm guessing they will get some kinda deal worked out. Nobody wins with a lockout. Not the owners, players, or fans.

As it is though, the game is slowly pricing itself out of existence. And, there's no way that the players assn will want to budge on rookie salaries so, who's gonna flinch? Keep in mind that, from the perspective of the owners, an off season can pay huge dividends down the road. After all, who's better positioned to take a financial hit for a year or so, the league and owners or the players?

Do we know for sure that we're going to have a 2011 season? If we don't, and with the world ending December 21, 2012 and all, he could be hosed if he fails to land with a team this year.

Your assuming he can make it through 2 or 3 games in a row without having to sit out a few more with a nagging injury. Best bet for him is to not push it & get himself ready for next year, sign a 1 year deal with incentives, & then hope to cash in on a new deal in 2012 if he can be productive. I just dont see him being that productive this year since he hasnt been able to play 2 games in a row.

Good Point and we do have his old nose tackle in Jamaal Williams so why wouldnt he be a good fit.

when healthy, if a team that runs the 3-4 that has a good DL picks him up, i think he could dominate again.

or at the very least he will make the guys around him better. funny thing is, even now when he did play in the raiders game, he was still getting double teamed i noticed lol

We just need a substitute for the rest of the year.

Well, considering he's currently injured and won't be released until he's healthy....

[kishzilla]

I don't like the guy, and I think he's a shmoe....


That being said, we desperately need an outside LB that could even be considered mediocre and if Merriman is available and healthy, he's probably the best option out there. I wouldn't sign him to a multiple year deal though, since ayers and doom are going to be our guys ultimately. We just need a substitute for the rest of the year.

I'm sure he'll get a lot of looks and, if he can return to anywhere near what he used to be, he could be a heck of a good pickup for cheap.

Al Davis might want him, healthy or not.

I say he is done with football, he will get back together with Tila Tequila and they will make a bunch of B-Movies

Probably more like porn movies. That skank aint qualified enough to make B-Movies.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Since the Roid Incident he's been on RR (roid reserve) and now IR

Does McDaniels want him?

I would be surprised if he didn't atleast bring him in for a work out. We only have two OLB's healthy right now. Elvis is on IR, and Robert Ayers is going to miss atleast six games. The only other LB that can play outside is Mario Haggan, but he's been really good at SILB. We either need to promote someone from the practice squad or bring someone new in.

[McSmashie]

Screw Merriman.

I didnt know you were into that. To each their own, I guess.

I think his type is more like a 5' Asian porn skank. But you never know.

[BOLTMAN-1]

[Bronco_Armada]

I think he'll end up in Dallas.

Surprise team would be Detroit, St. Lois or Seattle.
