Shawne Merriman set to join Randy Moss on waiver wire
Shawne Merriman set to join Randy Moss on waiver wire

The 2005 Defensive Rookie of the Year looks set to join a future Hall of Fame wide receiver on Tuesday's NFL waiver wire. (Now there's a sentence I didn't ever expect to write.)
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.
Merriman has been idling on the team's injured reserve list with a "minor-injury designation," which means the team has to release him once he's healthy. He's been recovering from a calf injury and was only able to play three games this season, making five tackles.
Like Moss, we expect a team to put a claim on Merriman. San Francisco, who just picked up Thaddeus Gibson from the Steelers off waivers, has previously been mentioned as a possibility.
Any team that picks up Merriman will owe him the remainder of his prorated $3.269 million salary.

Who wants to bet the Bears try to claim him if he passes his physical?

He does play on defense and we all know the defense comes first so I can see Angelo wasting, I mean using a draft pick to get the guy.

Strangely I think your right. I can hear it now:
"we're always looking to upgrade and address our 'needs' so we are taking a look at him and we'll go from there"
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!

A fitting end for Merriman.
