Great point.

Now let's look at the other end as a "Selling High" when dealing Meriwether who now (somehow) has "Pro-Bowler" before his name. It'll be like selling Enron stock before 2001.

That was probably his hopes at the start of free agency. The market does not seem to have materialised for him. Right now vets still on the market who are not in camp as yet, are probably looking at 1 year "prove it" deals etc

Merriweather is a significantly better player than Goldson, despite your hate for him.

Goldson isn't good. At all. Merriweather, despite not being perfect, is still the best safety on the roster.

You know that play where everyone *****es that Merriweather tackled McCourty? You know why that happened? Because Chung got totally blown away by his guy, and Merriweather had to come from way out of position.

I'd love to see this double move happen if BB feels that Goldson will be a good fit in our system. Meriweather does freelance too much and at times takes bad angles, taking out his own guys ala Tebuckey Jones. Taking a slight downgrade at overall talent in safety while eliminating some boneheaded mistakes while also adding a sack machine in Osi would mean an overall upgrade in the defensive unit. Waiting to see if this can happen but I don't know if it can if Goldson was looking for more than Whitner money.

PS Without having watched him play, I don't know too much about Goldson but 80 tackles last season tells me that he's likely a more physical player than Meriweather.

Dashon Goldson, DB for the San Francisco 49ers at NFL.com

Oh and this training camp observation makes me all the more anxious to see a BM/Osi swap:

On Saturday, Meriweather had a disturbing showing in 1-on-1 tackling drills, failing to even make contact with Julian Edelman and Stevan Ridley on consecutive reps. Compared to fellow safeties Patrick Chung, James Sanders and Brandon McGowan, Meriweather has appeared slow.

#Patriots are planning to release safety Brandon McGowan, I'm told by a source. Will open up a spot at safety and on special teams
If Goldson is taking McGowan's roster spot then wouldn't he be making something comparable in salary? Is Rapoport off-base, or are the rumors on money he is demanding incorrect?

The Merriweather hate is dumbfounding. He's one of the better safeties in the leauge and certainly heads and shoulders above both Chung and Sanders.

No disrespect, but if he really is better than Chung, then it's only because he's played a ton more snaps in NFL. That's it. Chung will emerge as the better safety as he continues to learn. I honestly don't know how you could watch his play and still not understand why so many have a problem with him. BB, the coach of the team, benched him. Do you think it was for no reason? Do you think BB just decided to bench a guy who was, by your estimation, the best safety on the team on a whim?
