The Buffalo Bills have turned the lights out on Shawne Merriman, whose NFL career has been in free fall since 2007 and suffered another blow Monday with his release. Merriman confirmed the development to FOXSports' Jay Glazer, who first reported it. Merriman was a terror during his first three seasons as a San Diego Charger, rolling up 39.5 sacks from 2005 to 2007, but he's struggled with a litany of injuries since and has registered five sacks in the past four seasons. He probably wasn't an ideal fit any longer for the Bills as they convert back to a 4-3 defense that boasts free agent additions Mario Williams and Mark Anderson on the edge, Merriman has spent most of his career as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Are there any good fits out there for him at present, the New York Jets often run the 3-4, need pass rush help and have shown willingness to roll the dice on reclamation projects in the past.<br style="background-color: rgb(245, 245, 255); "><br style="background-color: rgb(245, 245, 255); ">Source: USAToday

Who was the retard who was saying Shawne Merriman was going to have double digit sacks this year?

He just went completely downhill after getting caught juicing.

It's a shame but oh well.

I think it's less the fact that he was juicing and more the fact that he ruined his knee by trying to play in a contract year.

Likely a mix of both, 50-50, 40-60, 20-80 however is up for debate. Either way his knee wasn't really a problem until 08 whereas he was suspended in 06 so it technically did all go downhill after he was caught.
