Merriman is a one trick pony. The Skins already have linebackers that can rush the passer. Merriman is not known for his coverage skills or playing in space. He would be a possible upgrade over Carter in pass rushing ablity but I am not so sure that he is better than Alexander in coverage.

A smart team would use their due diligence and at least look at him, but I believe that they would confirm what I have just said after that look. In the end I do not think that he will be in Washington even though he is from Upper Marlboro.
