The only way that Merriman stays a San Diego Charger after this season is that he takes a tremendous paycut. Then again the Chargers could win this years' Super Bowl and he would not have to take less.A.J. Smith is growing tired of Merriman ending up in these situations where he is bringing negative publicity to the San Diego franchise. The partying that he was doing outside of his rehabilitation of his injury was frustrating to the G.M.
With Merriman missing all but two games last season, we would think that he would probably use better jugdement. Although he is still fairly a young man, he cannot allow himself to be in situations such as this one.
This is also a contract year for For the star outside linebacker. He is a special player on this team, but the extra curricular activities may be overshadowing his first three seasons with the organization.
Larry English was also there first selection this past April. English played phenomonally at Pittsburgh University and was drafted in the middle of the first round. It can be aid that he will be the successor of Merriman if things do not go the defenses' way this season.
Basically Merriman needs to stay out of the limelight and stick to football for the rest of the season. If he does not, this could be a divorce waiting to happen.
