Re: Meriweather - Do you want him back?
There are too many variables involving the CBA to know for sure. If I understand correctly, right now no teams can trade players for picks. So he's here unless we outright cut him, which I don't see.
Assuming (and with these twits, it's a pretty big assumption) that the CBA gets worked out BEFORE the draft and things go back to relative normalcy:
I'd explore a trade, just to see what people would be willing to pay. And I would draft a replacement just in case. But, at the end of the day he will most likely be the starting SS on the 2011 Patriots. And we'll have to see what happens...will he FINALLY turn the corner we thought he would this year? Or will he be his maddeningly inconsistent self?
I was most likely a bit harsher on Meriweather Sunday night than I should have been, but it was a rough night. Unfortunatley, whenever I see Meriweather (which is everyday, since he is the picture for January on the Patriots calander) I just see him getting dragged into the endzone by Braylon Edwards while McCourty was trying to punch the ball out. And it leaves an awful taste in the mouth.
