Sign the beast? Whitney Mercilus

[n1997y]

Texans released him. Worth a shot with Wino going to IR?


Texans officially release Whitney Mercilus - ProFootballTalk

Whats his contract? Why did they release him? Both questions need answers before signing him.

 

[MrTibbs]

We have enough slow guys....time for young athletic backers.

This. We need to see what we have and get the old guys out of the way. We have enough progress stoppers at LB as it is.

 

[jah]

Can he set the edge?

 

[PaulThePat]

He's no Adam Seward.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

too old and his not very productive anymore

I loved this guy 5 years ago. I love the great football name. Merciless. I think we have enough older, slower guys right now. He'd have to be league minimum and then used in just certain situations. It's not like the Texans are so good that they can give decent players away mid-season. Sadly, pass.

If he's released, he has no contract.

Whitney the Merciless >>>>>>>>> Dee Notso Wise, aka Chris Collinsworth's favorite Pats defender.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Patriots top needs - an OL who doesn't instantly crumble under pressure, a LB who can cover sideline to sideline, an outside CB who doesn't get torched so often he's on the cover of Pyromaniacs magazine. If Merciless is none of these things, we don't need him.

This has a Derrick Burgess vibe to it...

 

[Vindicate]

He said he wanted to play for a contender and get a ring :/

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Do it for the name

 

[Pats2000]

Can he pass block?

 

[TheRainMaker]

No. Uche needs the time.

And where the heck is Ronnie Perkins and Anfernee Jennings? They needs to get their azzes on the field.

Jennings, that horrible waste of Yet Another top-100 pick in that awful, Awful 2020 draft, is on season-ending IR.
