Remember when Parcells was blasted by a lot of people for taking DeMarcus Ware over Merriman?

I thought Merriman was poised for a "huge year". Chan Gailey thought he could be an "impact player":

Look I don't like the guy but the steroids were not the reason he declined it's revisionist history. He got caught in 2006 and still had 17 sacks in 12 games then had 12.5 in 15 games in 2007 the reason he fell off was the knee injury not getting off steriods but people will keep saying it's the steroids even though that is not true.

That was more Thomlinson than Merriman. After the 2007 AFCCG Merriman stayed on the field and congratulated Patriot players and coaches so for me with him the 2006 stuff is forgotten. Thomlinson is the one who's never let it go and has proven to be anything but classy.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

He's a week 2 pickup (so the team won't have to pay full season salary, although vet minimum isn't that big a cap hit) for a desperate injury depleted defense. That said, he's done. Good points about the consequences of roid abuse people.

At one time I thought he looked like a young Lawrence taylor....

Ends up playing more like Lawrence Welk

I guess it's a "huge year" for Merriman since he's deciding what to do with himself as a (possibly soon to be) former NFL player.

Shame the XFL is not around. Surely he could have been picked up by one of those teams.

pretty sure it was sarcasm
