The Regime Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 SI.com - The Chargers have placed Shawne Merriman on the injured reserve list with a calf injury and a "minor-injury designation." The team says that means Merriman must be released when he becomes healthy. http://football.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/18823/20101013/merriman_on_ir_career_with_chargers_over/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crew Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 A loser who stopped being a good player as soon as he was busted for 'roid use. He's a scrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's not true at all. He still racked up a lot of sacks after he was caught using steroids. However, the use of steroids may have contributed to his body breaking down and his poor play and missed games over the past few seasons.

I didn't even know it happened until about 2 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 8 1/2 sacks in the 5 games after his suspension in 2006. He then had 12 1/2 sacks in 2007. The injuries set in after, and may have been a result of the steroid use, but he did perform well right after his suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
