Assuming he comes in and plays well enough to warrant keeping him around (which shouldn't be too hard) can he be franchise tagged? or because he was released is there some type of clause?
Can Merriman be Franchise Tagged?

With all the money they saved by cutting ties with Kawika Mitchell, Marshawn Lynch, Trent Edwards, and Aaron Schobel...10 million seems like nothing...especially if he plays well.
chances are if he hits the open market he'll want to sign with someone other than us.The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

when did you become psychic? what are fridays take 5 lottery numbers going to be?
Why would he sign here when he can test the market and go to a better team? If he plays well he will be in line for a huge pay day. If he does not, the team won't want him back.
This will be his first chance to test the open market. It is highly unlikely he signs with a team that has only had him for half of a season.Originally posted by mysticsotoLecter is right in everything he said.
