IMzeke Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Word is that Merriman could be traded for. Does this have any merit??? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 how would merriman fit in w/ us, since he's a 3-4 olb? (he's big enough to play DE, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 well we have a glut of DB's maybe we could move one of those? OR Dick could just suck it up and move Maybin to backer. By far this would be the best way to bolster to LB corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOTONE Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 after the juice wore off he isn't the same guy. No worries though, he will be traded to the Pats and get back on the "program" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJ91 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why? People who know Buffalo history remember the trade for Cornelius Bennett. Sure, Bill Polian traded Greg Bell and a bunch of draft picks to the Colts for Bennett. Then the Colts took those draft picks and Greg Bell from the Bills, threw in a couple more picks of their own, and traded them all to the Rams for Erick Dickerson, the best RB in the NFL back then in......1987! You will have to travel to that sparkling new palace with the retractable roof in downtown Indianapolis, (kind of ironic, don't you think?), to find Bill Polian in the Colts' President and GM's office today, 22 years later. He's been building the Colts into SB Champions (2006, their first in Indianapolis) and perennial 10-13 game per season winners since he drafted Peyton Manning with the number one pick way back in 1998, his first year as Colts' GM. So please tell me how that trade from over two decades ago proves that 91 year old Ralph Wilson and his inner circle jerks of today, well on their way to their 10th consecutive playoff - less season, has any realistic chance of pulling off a trade for a linebacker of Merriman's magnitude!?!

apuszczalowski Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why not, isn't the guy getting injured more often since getting off the juice? He would fit right in on the Bills IR team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PushthePile Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Word is that Merriman could be traded for. Does this have any merit??? Thoughts? Merriman would be a move made by a team that is close to winning. This team can't afford to give up a single draft pick IMO. we should actually be looking to trade our expendable players for more picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Move a DB to LB? I don't think a 5'11" 185 pound linebacker would scare opposing offenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 there's a reason "Star" players are available for a trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 there's a reason "Star" players are available for a trade Which would be A) Shaun Phillips, B)Larry English, and C)final year of a contract in which SD does not plan on extending. Trade for him and Derrick johnson. then sign still free agent derrick brooks to one year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Smith will ask for entirely too much like he did with Turner and there's not a guarantee that we're getting a guy who would be as effective in a 4-3 defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Could be worse. We could trade for Merrimen and turn him into a stong saftey........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Has anyone in this thread actually watched Merrimen play the last couple of seasons? He's a shell of his former self. Whether it's the roids or the injuries, he's no better than Ashlee Palmer at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
