Re: Merriman is placed on IR
My thoughts, too.
If Merrimoid has to accept vet minimum+ just to keep playing, then I feel that he'll be too humbled to cause much of a stir in the locker room.
And if the defense has recorded only about a dozen sacks by Halloween, then I'm willing to hold my nose & sign the pimply, roid-addled beast.
Contrary to what others have posted here, I think I'd give him a shot, assuming, of course, that the price isn't prohibitive. He's dealt with a variety of injuries but if he truly gets back fully healthy, I see no reason why he can't be an effective pass rusher. Given that the Pats still have a *huge* need there, and if it could be filled without giving up draft picks or a lot of money, it seems like that's exactly the kind of move they should make. Worst that happens, presuming he signs for not much money, is that he's a bad fit, doesn't work out, and you have to cut him. No harm, no foul.
