Though his production has slipped much more dramatically than Randy Moss, former All-Pro Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman drew more interest on the waiver wire than Moss.
Dolphins And Buccaneers Also Put In Claim On Shawne Merriman
In all, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, three teams placed waiver claims on Merriman: the Bills, Dolphins and Buccaneers. Obviously, with the winless Bills having the top waiver spot, anyone who they claimed they would get, but it’s interesting that Merriman drew more interest than Moss. Only one team, the Tennessee Titans, placed a claim on Moss and they were 22nd in the waiver order, meaning 21 other teams passed on the opportunity to get the Pro Bowl receiver.
Merriman appeared in three games this season with San Diego and started only one, posting six tackles and no sacks. He posted only 36 tackles and four sacks in 14 starts in 2009. Both figures were by far career lows for Merriman for a full season.
