OT: Looks like Shawne Merriman will do a lights out dance on his career
 
It looks like the Bills are cutting him. Granted someone might pick him up. But with his injury history and the fact he hasn't done much since he was busted for roids, I don't know if anyone will be interested.

That's just totally classless by the Bills.

I cannot recall any player hitting the wall as quickly as Merriman did. Beast to bust in less than a year. Like the OP said, he has not jack since he was busted for steroids.

Why? They paid him 1 million for showing up, then he doesn't perform. The NFL has charities it gives to, but players who can't perform anymore isn't one of them.

However... I do agree the Bills are classless otherwise :D lol

Here is a perfect example of why college athletes risk taking PEDs, without them it appears that Mr Merriman would have been bagging groceries much sooner. He took some drugs and made millions of dollars then he was caught and it all came crashing down, but he gets to keep the money.....:bricks:

looks like we have a power cut.

Would piss me off greatly if Bill were to kick the tyres here.

He's done.

The Merriman house has been dark for a couple of years.

Believe he pocketed $5M of a 2 year $10.5M deal... He should be the poster boy for the anti doping advocates. I know some fans feel it's no big deal and it doesn't matter if the playing field isn't level or whether cheaters push others to keep pace. Same folks will probably support the players when they all start filing steriod damage suits blaming the league for not doing enough to warn or stop them from abusing themselves for financial gain.

It was a joke. He is known for talking about class all the time.
