Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman is taking a physical with the team today. If he passes before 4 p.m. ET, Merriman will be waived and be available for all 32 teams to claim. Just like Randy Moss.

Who would have thought a couple years ago that Randy Moss and Shawne Merriman would be on the waiver wires in the middle of a season.

lets just get all these guys on the Free Agent list at once so we can get this debacle over with

And picked up by the Patriots :-D

The comeback of Moss and Merriman.. Oh Jesus, what a day.
What's next? The best record in the NFL? Oh wait...

And Mankins!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously doubt anyone waste their time with him. He either lost something when he was hurt or was a steroids product. Either way, he isn't worth the time of filing the waiver claim unless you have no one at OLB.

Of the two free agents, Moss is way more attractive than Meriman right now.

If it weren't passed the trade deadline, I would guess Al Davis would be trading us Nnamdi Asomugha for a second round pick.

how much would the contract be on merriman to pick him up off waivers? i know with moss its just over $3m.

Knowing the Pats they could probably get Asomugha for a 3rd or 4th

Dont mention something like that. Thinking of the Pats getting a 3rd round pick for four games of Randy Moss then getting him back, getting Logan Mankins back, the possibility of getting Shawne Merriman, having the best record in the NFL and now you through up Nnamdi. Im trying my best not to orgasm in work as it is!!! I'm pretty sure that's gross misconduct. I cant get fired this close to Christmas

You act like Merriman is still good.

[trkaline]

He may not be good anymore, but he may be something dammit!

Below is a list of teams that could be interested in Merriman, either through the waiver wire or through free agency if he is not claimed. Merriman hasn’t been effective since 2007 because of injuries. But there should be interest in a 26-year-old player who has 43.5 career sacks.

Baltimore: The Ravens always have room for good pass rushers.

Dallas: It’s been reported that the Cowboys aren’t interested, but it’s a fit.

Denver: The Broncos are battered at linebacker and really need a pass rusher.

Green Bay: There’s a need, but the Packers don’t go after vets.

Houston: Not a great fit, but there are injury issues here.

Kansas City: The Chiefs could always use another pass rusher, but it’s a long shot.

Miami: This could be a legitimate fit.

New England: I could see this fit if he clears waivers.

New Orleans: The Saints almost traded for him in April.

New York Jets: See Baltimore.

Oakland: Merriman would look good in Silver and Black.

San Francisco: I wouldn’t be shocked if Merriman is a 49er.

Washington: I could see Merriman heading home.

Huge no thanks to KC picking up Merriman.

[RaiderNation]

I wouldnt mind us atleast trying him out in Oakland if he comes cheap. We could use another pass rusher and keep him out of KC
