I care!

Specially considering at worse,he would be an upgrade at LB over Andre Carter who's totally outmatched at LB.

Fletcher
Orakpo
Alexander
McIntosh
are great right now...
But having a guy Like Merriman coming in to spell any of these guys for a breather or injury,would make me feel a bit better than BB Blades,P. Riley or Wilson. (although I'm very high on Riley)

The guy's a 3X Pro bowler and still young at 26 and wouldn't cost either draft picks or a high Salary to obtain because he was hurt all of 2008....Had a mediocre season in 2009 only playing 14 games with 4 sacks and 36 tackles and now is hurt again in 2010...

he could be finished,so it would be a risk in hoping he still can be a stud.
But the guy had 40 Sacks in 2005,2006 and 2007 combined.

All I'm saying is maybe he's worth a look,once he's healthy and released this season.
He's certainly young enough,to maybe get back to where he once was and at a low cost to the team.

And would provide good depth,if he produces plus we wouldn't need to draft LB's next season,as we would be pretty set for a while with what we have there. (Having P.Riley and Blades there)

And Fletcher can't play forever..
