this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Just FYI. Bring him in and switch him to DE? I know he was injured, but he is an ex Charger and could at least be worth a look....

Re: Bills release Merriman
Career went South as soon as he was busted for steriods. 5 sacks in the past 5 years.

Shawne Merriman
Recently released by the Bills , I want him In N.O. Spags can get a fire out of a player like no other defensive coach. I like his play, Former Charger so they already have the connection with Sproles and Brees. This guy is Aging but ain't old so he will want to contend for a superbowl sometime soon. We can provide that luxury. And he would help us a ton either Pass Rush wise or being a Linebacker. Should Vilma Return this season , I like the Idea of Vilma Loton and Merriman as our Linebackers. Thats a Defense !

Would he even be able to play?? |

Re: Shawne Merriman
I'm sure he would , and at this point and stage of his career I think he knows hes not getting a ton of money. If he can stay healthy I see it as a huge bonus ... Every charger that we bring in turns out to be dynamic

Re: Shawne Merriman [merged]
I hope they do bring him in to take a look. What could a look hurt? If he can't make the team then its nobodies loss.
