Shawne Merriman should be happy, healthy and hungry for the 2010 season (via Chargers.com).
Hungry, healthy, happy? All three words should describe Shawne Merriman as he returns to camp. Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman signed his one year tender today and returned the team that drafted him in the first round. For Merriman, this year means everything.
He’s playing for a contract with the San Diego Chargers, or somewhere else, and there are no excuses. He’s a season and a half removed from the knee surgery that sidelined him for the 2008 season. In 2009 Merriman had to contend with continuing rehab as well as a multitude of other nagging injuries.
Injury or not, Shawne Merriman will decide his own fate in 2010 as he looks to regain the form that made him an absolute nightmare for opposing offenses in 2007. Hungry, happy and healthy – Shawne Merriman returns to the Chargers.
