NFL: Adam Schefter suggests five trades that should be made before the deadline - ESPN

5. San Diego linebacker Shawne Merriman to New England for a second-round pick: Merriman's performance has leveled off recently and New England, awash in draft picks the next two years, could afford to surrender one for a defensive playmaker. Some might think Merriman is worth a first-round pick, but he is in the last year of his contract and San Diego would be happy to unload him.

No rumors or nothing involved, just Schefter speculating on deals that make sense to him.

I think he's too much of a head case to play here...

...but we've said that before and it has usually worked out. Maybe Junior could keep him in line.

I'm on board for the experiment. I will let Coach Belichick know tomorrow.

I believe that's called "TMI."

Has Merriman even been productive after his knee injury?

Seems like he's been average since he came back from the knee injury and stopped taking roids...

That deal makes no sense at all. he'd be a part time player in our system where LB'ers need to have cover skills when on the outside. A 2nd round pick for a part time player ... I think not.

Pass on it...they don't him him enough to warrant that high of a pick.

***BradyFTW!*** · 10-17-2009, 11:18 PM

He hasn't done anything since he blew his knee out and he couldn't cover even when he was healthy. No thanks.

Would rather have Peppers. And preferably for one of our many 2nd round picks.
