PromoTheRobot Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The guy is washed up and a Bum cut his ass now!!!!!!!!!! Lets cut him now, and make him walk down Abbot Rd in his underwear while we burn a pile of his jerseys. That will show free agents that Buffalo is serious about winning.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Why not? Because he's shot! Do you seriously need more proof? Even when he was healthy (which has been one game in 4 years) he looked good against the worst O line in the NFL. Big deal. I'm sure he's a great guy and a leader but at this point the only thing he will be doing is taking reps away from others (that's if he can get onto the field.) Hopefully Buddy gets it through his thick skull that an edge rusher is one of the most impactful positions in football and he drafts one before the 5th round. Says the guy who loved Jimmy Clausen.

LynchMob23 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It's a sunk cost. Where else can we sign a pass rusher for 3.5 million dollar one year tryout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglientep Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hey it was a shot. he taught the younger guys. Not a complete loss who knows maybe he actually can come back and next year.i mean it looked like to me, not to make excuses, that he wasnt healthy for any of the games this year.

PDaDdy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 5 Years playing 29% of the games with terrible statistical performance compared to his first 3 steroid fueled, injury free probowl years? Pretty much says it all doesn't it? I mean what more do we really need to look at? Does anyone really think this latest operation is going to change the last 5 years of performance?

K-9 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 5 Years playing 29% of the games with terrible statistical performance compared to his first 3 steroid fueled, injury free probowl years? Pretty much says it all doesn't it? I mean what more do we really need to look at? Does anyone really think this latest operation is going to change the last 5 years of performance? Even if what you said was accurate (and it isn't), it doesn't come close to saying it all. Not by a long shot. There is much more to be written in the Merriman chapter. Get back to us when he completes rehab, gives it a go in camp, fails, and the Bills cut him. Until then, it's all conjecture by everyone here. GO BILLS!!!

Dragonborn10 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Why not he won't get paid until week 1? In fact he could be a late traingin camp cut to avoid him getting a guarantteed full salary and bring him back for week 2. Little downside to bringing him back. Draft OLB in round 1 has got to be the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) If the offseason rehab appears to go well then the Bills will probably bring him in and give him a chance to compete. He will be on a very short leash though since keeping him on the roster would be expensive. I doubt he makes it and the Bills need to finally start planning like he won't make it. That's my one objection to the way this was handled. I'm ok with taking a risk on the guy and giving him a chance, but there was no plan B. The Bills should've been planning for him not making instead of repeatedly saying that they were all set at OLB. The didn't draft a single OLB last season. That was crazy.

Bills!Win! Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Give him his steroids and well have a 14 sack linebacker on our hands next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I voted yes, but it will also depend not eh play of the people that replace him for the rest of the season . . . if the defense is better, if the young guys produce, he's probably done. I only see him returning as a situational player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Merriman will be back next year. The financial commitment exists even if we cut him. I wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
