Merriman and Chargers talking extension?

ShawneMerriman 219x300 Merriman and Chargers talking extension?San Diego Chargers outside LB Shawne Merriman recently changed agents. Previously, he was represented by Tom Condon, who doesn’t have a very good working relationship with Chargers GM A.J. Smith. In an effort to get a new deal, he hired David Dunn.

And sources tell Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune that Dunn sat down with Smith and Chargers vice president Ed McGuire for about two hours on Thursday afternoon. While the meeting was described as “introductory,” it surely was aimed at getting a blockbuster deal for Merriman in San Diego.

“We had a meeting with David that was very productive and enlightening on a number of fronts,” Smith said. “Regarding Shawne, I told him we are open-minded regarding his situation. We have many other player situations to ponder in the year ahead.”

Merriman, like many restricted free agents, received a one-year tender. We think the Chargers would be fools to give this guy any kind of significant deal.

In 2006, he had a whopping 17 sacks. In 2007, he followed it up with another 12.5. But he missed pretty much all of 2008 and only had four sacks last year. Oh, and he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, which surely helped him dominate in years past.

Would you give this guy a box full of money? We wouldn’t.

  4. What I wish to know is why I must care? I mean, not to say that what youve got to express isnt essential, but I mean, its so generic. Everyones referring to this guy. Give us something far more, some thing that we can get behind so we can feel as passionately about this as you do.
