I thought this was interesting by Adam S.
Chargers placed linebacker Shawne Merriman on Reserve-Injured with a calf injury.
This means Merriman must be released by the team when he becomes healthy. Career in SD over.
Distinction to be made here: Shawne Merriman can play again this season for another team. But he is finished in San Diego.
Once Merriman is healthy, which could be in a couple weeks, Chargers must release him and he is free to sign with another team this season.

He's a bum, if he wasn't ever on HGH he wouldn't have done anything

If not for Alexander playing so well, I think Merriman would be worth a look since he's played as a 3-4 OLB his whole career. I think the guy is about done though, and I bet Shanny doesn't want a dude like him.
Sad for the chargers' fans that their big names are gradually leavin town.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say the PED or HGH has pretty much ruined was starting to look like a brilliant career. That said, I think he still has some NFL years left, but his lights out days are probably over.

Don't you mean Shanahan and Allen? If Snyder was still doing things, I think Peppers would be wearing a Redskins uniform this season.

You guys saying HGH is the reason his career is going in the tank have no idea what you're talking about. Do you have any proof of this?

If he’s healthy I would defiantly take a look at it. I think Shanahan could keep him in check. The guy was a beast and I don’t think was only because of HGH.

Definitely. It looks like his career could be over. Kinda like another #56, he relied on speed. Could he adjust to being a run stopper even if healthy?
Something tells me he's done.
