Hopefully he can at least be a pass rush specialist for us.

good move though...nothing to lose by keeping him around

I guess roroworld needs updated...

		Shawne Merriman-LB- Bills Nov. 27 - 1:32 pm et
		Bills placed OLB Shawne Merriman (achilles) on injured reserve, ending his season. The writing was on the wall, as Merriman himself doubted he'd be able to return by Week 17. He'll enter free agency with only his name recognition to hang his hat on; his talent has long since gone. A team would be hard pressed to guarantee him a contract, and it's not crazy to think that his NFL career has come to an end.

At least he's only guaranteed 2.5 million.

Re: Shawne Merriman signs on for two years

very nice contract...he can't hurt the team, pass rushing LBers may be a strength next year...now we need LBers in run support

Re: Shawne Merriman signs on for two years

I can live with that. Still want two quality guys from FA, though.

Re: Shawne Merriman signs on for two years

i wonder if kelsay even makes the team next year if merriman comes back ready to go.... moats could take his spot...

Re: Shawne Merriman signs on for two years

Buddy Nix did a great job with this. 2.5 mil guaranteed is very affordable and 2 years leaves us with no long term commitment. The old Bills' brass would have overpaid and over committed themselves to a free agent like Merriman who may not be worth it.

But if Merriman returns to form, he is a stud and something we sorely miss. A talented pass rusher. Good move.

Re: Shawne Merriman signs on for two years

And that proves to those who didn't think we should sign him that taking the small risk to bring him in was worth it.

This guy is going to work very hard to get back to his best and get a new contract and he will do that for us.

That gives us Merriman, Moats, Kelsay, Batten... that is depth required to win games.
