I don't think this really means anything, but I never had a problem with the Pats cutting Meriweather. He wasn't coachable and his production was declining sharply.
You can make a very strong argument that the Pats left the safety position really thin, too thin. And I agree. But that doesn't mean that I think they should have kept Meriweather. He was not a productive player and could have had a negative effect on the other younger players in the secondary considering he refused to do what the coaches asked him to do.
