+1 The only thing to say about this team's recent transactions is to expect the unexpected. (Excluding the Junior Seau signing, which was predictable by all.)

I hope a trade isn't for Merriman. Hasn't he been playing less than 100% this season. Besides, couldn't he be an one-year rental like Seymour for any team that trades for him.

It doesn't take a genius to see that A.J. Smith would love someone to call him with a good offer -- say, a second-round draft choice -- for Shawne Merriman between now and the trading deadline eight days from now. That would mean Merriman would have to show some signs of being a dominant player again. Since this was San Diego's bye week, and the Chargers have a Monday-nighter next week that will end 16 hours before the trading deadline, that won't give interested parties much time to beat down Smith's door.

Burgess is a 4-3 OLB. In his 9 years he played for Philly and Oakland, both 4-3 defenses.

Two more crazy ideas that could happen - what about trading for Tamba Hali or Aaron Kampman?

Hali - emerging rusher on an awful team, apparently everyone except for Cassel is available, a 2nd rounder could be attractive to Pioli

Kampman - former pro-bowler struggling with Capers' version of a 3-4 - maybe he's a better fit in our varied Defense? Not outside the realm of possibility

Burgess played DE in Oakland and Philly in the 4-3. He is a 4-3 DE and a 3-4 OLB. Just like Peppers would be if he had been traded here.

Could the Morris injury ahve something to do with this?

Taylor is gone for awhile. If Morris's injury is long term that leaves NE paper thin at RB.

Maroney isnt the poster child for not being injured.
