    Merriman recruiting Stephen Cooper?

    No idea how credible this site is, but i saw it today and figured i'd post it. Sorry if this site is bogus, i just came across it today.

    Buffalo Bills OLB Shawne Merriman is reportedly recruiting former teammate and FA Chargers' ILB Stephen Cooper to come play for the Bills

      But I love how suddenly Merriman is totally on board the Buffalo ship. I think the way Buddy picked him up last year even when he was nowhere near being able to play, and we still extended him showed him a lot or respect and he appreciates it.

        We will need camp bodies. If he knows 3-4 football and can play better than our scrubs, get that man a uniform - could be the next willie mayes hayes.

          Never been a fan of Cooper. He seemed to like talk a big deal, but his play was average.

            Chalk up 2010 to handful of injuries. He still has some left in the tank if he can stay injury free. If this was baseball the Mets would be all over him.

            I'd rather Merriman focus on Burnett if the Chargers can't pony up the cash.

              He is a NE guy, born in Mass and went to school at U Maine.

              He has always been a talented guy, he didn't get drafted because he got bagged with steroids in college. Marty Schottenheimer loved him as a player and he has performed pretty well for the Chargers.

              I guess you worry about guys as they get older, but I can't see any real downside to bringing him in. Even if he has lost a step, he is still a very physical ILB with 3-4 experience. He should be able to still contribute on run downs, although he may not be a 3-down player any more.

                I've liked Cooper's play but that over 30 thing is always worrisome as hope he's not "Eddie Robinsonesque".

                  Cooper would be a nice addition as would Siler or Barnes, or well any of their LBs.

                      I texed this to WGR on Tuesday morning and they talked about it for a few minutes on the air.

                      Cooper is a **** load better than Andra Davis...

                      The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

                              it wouldn't hurt my feelings to bringing in cooper for two years or three years.
