Default Meriweather - Do you want him back?

I threw this out there earlier while we were waiting and got some interesting responses, so I thought I'd do the same here - albeit a little differently along with a poll.

Heard them talking about him on the radio and apparently reporters that talked to him in the locker room as players were packing up said that he sounded like he knows he may not be coming back (he was very sullen, etc and sounded like there was some finality in his voice)

After everything that happened this season, what are your thoughts and do you want him back?

He's pretty much the only guy on this defense that opposing players have any reason to fear, so definitely.

I'm assuming these "Pro Bowls" have inflated his ego to quite a bit more than the $2-3 million dollars/year he's worth. And if so, goodbye and good luck Brandon.

So you think he's worth about as much as James Sanders? I'm as big a Sanders fan as anyone, but Meriweather's better. Unless you think Sanders is overpaid in the first place, but after the year he had this year, I don't see many people sticking with that argument.

His base salary next year is $650K with escalators, etc, that could take it somewhat higher but he's really cheap. He'll be back unless we trade him in lieu of losing him for nothing this time next year.

His price is right. Still needs to learn how to wrap up instead of trying to make the big hit.

That TD to Edwards was disappointing...

I'd sign Meriweather if the price was right; otherwise he is expendable.

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.

The draft is kinda weak past the first round.
