Shawne Merriman was released by the Buffalo Bills this morning and Baltimore Ravens fans are already wondering how the Maryland Alum would look in purple.
The Ravens are certainly going to give Merriman a look. At least that’s what Samuel Njoku of the Baltimore Examiner thinks. “Pass rushers are too valuable,” he tweets.
Remember, the Ravens expressed interest in Merriman back in 2010 when he was placed on waivers by the San Diego Chargers. Back then it was reported that Merriman “would love to land in Baltimore.”
Certainly the price will be a lot less expensive than the $3.269 million is would have cost Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens two years ago. Although I tend to agree with Kris Jones of Ravens247, who tweeted that despite the Ravens needing a pass rusher, Merriman been released twice already and folks in Baltimore get too excited about University of Maryland guys.
Merriman is certainly a definte “look at”…..bring him in and just see what he can do on a tryout.
Why not? If he’s got anything left in the tank, he could help a shaky pass rush. I’d bring him in and see what he’s got left.
It’s obvious to me that Merriman has lost his ability to use performance enhancing drugs. The scrutiny of today prevents him from doing that. He is finished at 28 years old. What a tragedy.The pace that he was on was probably HOF if he lasted about12 yearsr more. He;d better be careful or he could end up like so many others.We have ourselves to blame. The owners are to blame for paying the kind of salaries that make it seem like a no brainer as to whether to take a chance on making millions of dollars. Shawn took that chance and lost.
Not another Bill’s cast off,,,,,,why does Ozzie like these guys,,,,,,,,,,time for Ozzie to go anyway…………maybe he should shuffle off to Buffalo……….
Merriman has been a non factor since 2007, he played in 14 games in 2009 with 4 sacks. Let him walk because he’s more than done.
