Really! hum I remember them saying the same about Julius Pepper's, he had a down year, and then came back strong, it almost takes two full years to recover from a knee injury, now if we can get him for a decent deal... I am all for it.

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.

^ Not enough to merit trading Cooley for him.

^ who said anything about trading Cooley? He will be a RFA in a uncapped year and very well may be cut. It takes two years to get over a knee injury, like jermiah Trotter. Also Olshansky was the space eater for Merriman he is now in Dallas. If he came here he will be with the likes of Carter, Rak and Haynesworth. You can't double team evey body.

The OP with a crazy imagination.

Latest report is Redskins will have a press conference on Thursday (that could change of course)

Thursday would be interesting because Thursday is January 7...and well we all know what happened on January 7, 2004

while i think you're probably right, its your personal speculation that shanahan is in the plane. we don't know that for a fact and the article didnt suggest it either.

Same guy who said the Redskins and Chiefs would decide draft position by a coin toss? Sorry I'm not listening to Schefter for the next few days. He's off his game. Of course if he's right then it would be because the final contract hasn't been drafted.

Also found this to be pretty interesting off of Schefter's twitter page.

RT @MarkMaske Jim Zorn's record over two seasons with Redskins: 12-20. Steve Spurrier's record over two seasons with Redskins: 12-20.

Had the SOS been even it would have been decided by a coin toss

I know that, but it slipped Schefter's mind last night.

This is a roller coaster, just like in the past.
