visajets Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 REX IS CRAZY! To pass on a beast like Merriman maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I would assume no one will put a claim on Merriman, he will then be free to sign where ever he wishes, or should I say who ever is willing. If this is true then I could see the Jets doing there due diligence, since then he can be had at a bargain price, but still would be shocked if he landed here. Would think a desperate 3-4 team might take a shot, Broncos, maybe Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a potent pass rusher has me to belive teams are more prepared for are all out blitzing schemes. Merriman would help out considerably as JT hasnt been much of a force to be reckoned with down after down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something has to be wrong with Merriman he has not been the same player in over 2 years, either the roids or injurys has caught up to him, someone will take a chance on him, but not on waivers at his price tag, they will let the chargers pay him and then sign him at minimum, I would be shocked other wise.

jussssstme Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Was listening to NFL on Sirius and I thought someone said that Buffalo might be claiming Merriman off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jussssstme Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Sirius NFL reporting now that Bills are def putting in a claim. Jay Glazer reporting and Adam Schefter is backing it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just heard abou the Buffalo thing, that is the only way a claim makes sense to me, a team wanting him, and knowing he would never actually sign there if he where a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's best as a buy low pickup...his market should be much larger if/when he hits unrestricted FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a smart move would let him go through waivers to save money. But the Bills haven't been run like a smart franchise since Polian is calling the shots nearly 20 yrs ago.

The other side is that maybe they felt competition in FA wouldn't end well for them. They probably claimed him because they actually want him. Personally, I won't knock that since I really think his demise is overstated and that he's exactly the kind of talent a smart team wants to try to salvage. I wish Merriman alot of luck because he's one helluva talent. I doubt he extends with that sh*t thread of a franchise even if he shows to be worth an extension.
