Julius Peppers didn't get caught using steroids. Plus even if we did bring in Merriman, where do we put him? Do you want to go through another ill advised Orakpo experiment? Maybe we put him at RE and take Orakpo from his best position. Or we could put Merriman at LE and relive the Jason Taylor experiment. Even if did regain his beast form it is still likely that he wouldn't fit in here.

1. Shawne is a OLB
2. Shift Rak to a rotation with Jarmon at RE
3. Merriman has played a 3-4 if we shift to a hybrid defense

honestly in a uncapped year the washington job is the most desirable job of them all because you have a owner who will bring in whoever you want uncapped resources.

1. Merriman is not a 4-3 OLB he would be a DE in the 4-3 scheme.

2. If we keep the 4-3 then Rak can play DE or LB and Jarmon can play DE, If we change to a 3-4 then Rak is not a RE he becomes a OLB all over again. Jarmon serves no purpose in a 3-4.
