When I read this, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea on a low-risk type of deal.

Then again, it's the Bills, so of course they'll do something stupid...

Buffalo Bills keep LB Shawne Merriman with two-year contract - ESPN

Over $5 million per season??? Every Patriots fan should be thankful for Buddy Nix :singing:

It's freezing there and the team sucks, must of been a good amount of money. Or bills must have pictures :eek:

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. The Bills are the Miami Sharks from Any Given Sunday. The owner is trying to sabotage the team so they'll move to LA. There's just no other explanation. None. I'm at a loss of words.

Merriman will prove his talent wasn't all about steroids. We have the same three-year sack total (four), and let's remember all of the great films I made post-NFL.

All the best,

I liked that storyline in "Major League" better....

Coach-"I thought we didn't have any high-priced talent?"
GM-"Well forget about Dorn because he's only high-priced."

Not really a bad move for the Bills. Low risk, high reward. If he regains even a portion of his old form, it's a genius move.

One less hole to fill on that defense...

Dude, Merriman is DONE. TOAST. IT'S ALL OVAAAHHHH.

There's no way this guy is coming back. Do you realize that his position requires speed where split second separates the elite from the CFL? This guy was a pass-rush specialist who just had speed and momentum; no strength or coverage skills. He can't shed a block standing flat footed; he did nothing but bull rush quarterbacks. This is like a full-time, specialist kickoff returner blowing out his knee and achilles heel.

Since his 2007 season, Merriman has four sacks. Four. Knee ligaments, calf injuries, foot injuries. He has played in just 17 games. He's done. Done. Done. And every team in the NFL, except one, knows it.

This guy is like a scrap heap of rusted metal, fused together with straws, with a BMW logo on it.

That salary is not a bargain by any means. That is a LOT of money for a really low-reward, high-risk player. At his best, he could string together 8 sacks (there are plenty of guys you get this offseason for that money and production.) There's more than a 50% chance that he'll play less than six games next year, if he even plays at all.

The Bills would rather bring in some recognizable has-beens like TO and Merriman than get off their asses and do some homework.

Don't take my word for it: just look at the Bills consistent failures over the last decade. This is exactly why.

LOL @ 8.75M per season for Merriman's services. He probably wasn't even worth that much in his Roided Up prime and now he is a shell of his former self. *shrugs* This is why the Pats dominate in the salary cap era. They don't make stupid signings like the Bills.
