Merriman could be traded
San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman could be traded in the coming weeks.
The linebacker recently switched agents, which could be a way to speed up trade talks with other teams.
The Chargers are not looking to give Merriman a long-term deal, so they would be more than happy to trade him before next year and get something in return.
The Saints and two other teams have attempted to acquire him, but have had no such luck.
Merriman would like a long-term deal to wherever he is traded, which seems to be the big hang-up for now.
