There is absolutely no reason we shouldn't bring him in. Low risk, huge reward.

Bringing a guy like that could really spark the defense. I really hope that he gets healthy quick and SF goes after him.

Sing and Baalke better get on the phone to his agent the moment he hits the market. But knowing us that makes too much sense to actually happen. My guess is a team like NYJ goes after him

Given his health in recent years, I doubt he comes out asking for an immediate LT deal. His value will be much higher after he shows he's still got it.
So I'd give him a short deal and hope it all works out. He could be that marque pass rusher our defense has been lacking for a while now.

Hopefully the Vernon and Manusky connections are enough to bring him here.

And hopefully a change of scenery is all he needs.

This means Merriman must be released by the team when he becomes healthy. Career in SD over. less than 20 seconds ago via ÜberTwitter
SIGN HIM
Why? Because his name is Shawne Merriman? The Bolts are getting rid of him for good reason.

I'm sure we would bring him in for a look at least, with Manusky and college teammate Vernon Davis, he would feel comfortable here and get to stay in california, and as one post said earlier "he couldnt be any worse than Haralson"
