Buffalo Bills release veteran linebacker Shawne Merriman - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/shawne-merriman-buffalo-bills-release-veteran-082012)

Interesting how he says he didn't fit since he is a 3-4 type of guy. Think he would be worth a look?

Can he play OL gus?

Good question. Damn why don't they just have tryouts in Fedex for ex linemen that are fans. Merriman might at least be good for depth, if not help out Fletch in the center with Orakpo and Kerrigan doing the damage on the outside.

Name spell fail.

Yeah I tried to fix it, but it doesn't work with the responses. I edited the original posting.

In all seriousness, barring a few terrible injuries I think we're pretty set at LB. The only players IMO we even need to consider are decent jettisoned OL and DB's.

He's old and washed up

I get the feeling Merriman's going want to start and I'd rather have Riley starting honestly. And doesn't Merriman have a bum knee and Achilles? Remember what happened to the last dude with a bum Achilles?

He wouldn't hurt just to have depth, but you are right. I would much rather have another starting cailber CB than anything. I think the O line will be fine, as we always have been plagued with a banged up line since the Turner days.

yeah but as I pointed out in another thread he works a lot and lets us know via Twitter. So theres that.
