The state attorney’s office in Broward County officially filed felony charges against Merling on Friday for aggravated battery on a victim he should have known was pregnant according to Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post. No court date has been set (it will likely be set within a week), but prosecutor Sarahnell Murphy found enough evidence that Merling, 25, battered his pregnant girlfriend to move forward with the case.

Merling’s attorney already entered a plea of not guilty and requested a trial by jury, the state attorney’s office confirmed

Report: Merling "on thin ice" with Dolphins

According to Pro Football Weekly, defensive end Phillip Merling is on thin ice with the Dolphins coming into training camp.

The Dolphins coaching staff was unhappy with Merling even before he was arrested earlier this offseason for aggravated battery after allegedly beating his pregnant girlfriend. He certainly did not help his standing with the team with that incident. Merling could face a suspension by the league for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

A fformer first round pick, Merling was supposed to start at defensive end but was easily beaten out by Randy Starks last year

Considering the fan base, not really. Never actually heard the track, just posted it in the LeBron thread in the other sports/NBA section. Flo rida=fail.

Come on dude, any team that signed Bosh, Wade and James in one offseason would put that city in a frenzy man and yes Flo rida is wack.

Back on topic though, with Ferguson retired and Merling looking like he might be suspended or whatever, who do you guys have?

Fergy was suspended for 8 games anyway, although he would've been nice to have later in the season. Right now it's Starks (Starter) and Paul Solai (back up). Hopefully Starks will make a nice transition to NT and be the guy. Definitly a concern at NT. Kind of sucks this has happened with Merling, the reason we were able to move Starks to NT was because we were deep at DE (Langford,Odrick, Merling, Mcdaniels) Lionel Dotson is a guy who might get a chance to be in the roation now.
