I said in the past that I would be for it. Not that my opinion matters, but I think Merrimen has a lot to bring to the table. He's going to be a year removed from his ACL injury by the time the season starts. It takes time to get back on track. He and Matthews would bring a dynamic pass rushing duo. He's young and has upside. I think Capers could mold him into a great pass rusher. There is a ton of upside. Worth the risk even if it means paying him a reasonable amount of money. I get the concerns with where his head can be at sometimes, but I think this locker room is strong. They could handle him and you know once people get to Green Bay, they always seem to like it and kinda change for the better ala Charles Woodson. Not sure why, but that does seem to be the case.
I don't think anything will happen though. Whenever a big name becomes available, there is usually some report out there saying the Packers are interested. That's not always the case. Of course this is coming from Merrimen's twitter, which makes it interesting, but still not substantial enough for me to think much of it.
EDIT:
He's going to be a gym rat because he loves cheese. I don't think it has anything to with the Packers. Just that he loves cheese and that's why he's a gym rat.
