The Broncos are painfully thin at the linebacker position. That's a well-known fact. And, with the Buffalo Bills having released veteran Shawne Merriman this morning, we can predict that there will plenty of speculation as to whether or not the Broncos will make a move to land him.

He's known for slapping around women. Worse, he's a former Charger.

Broncos fans have a ton invested in hating Merriman so let's all hope that the chatter we hear about his donning the orange and blue is just that - chatter - and that no serious consideration is given to bringing him here.

It's hard enough to root for DJ, Knowshon and Demaryius.
