BroadwayJ667 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 A bad offseason for Dolphins defensive end Phillip Merling has gotten a lot worse. Per a league source, Merling has suffered an Achilles' tendon injury. The extent of the injury, along with the timing and the cause, aren't known. The source said it's possible that the injury happened not during offseason workouts, making it a non-football injury. If -- and we emphasize the if -- it's a non-football injury, the Dolphins can choose not to pay Merling's salary of $600,000, in the event he's unable to play in 2010. Merling recently was charged with felony battery after allegedly beating up his pregnant girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bx Jet Fan Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Can someone explain to me how Big Ben doesn't get charged with a crime and gets suspended for 6 games, but this guy can beat the hell out of his pregnant girlfriend and nothing has happened yet as far as a suspension?

Yeah, he was just charged by the DA this week, so the NFL will move pretty quickly to suspend him for personal conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Everyone said Merling slipped in the draft and the Fins were lucky to get him, maybe the other teams had better inside info on his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they get lucky with Marshall too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
