According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Shawne Merriman is "not on solid footing with the Chargers" and remains on the trade block with the NFL's October 19 deadline approaching.The Union-Trib also confirms that there's been "little to no activity," and why would there be? Beat writer Kevin Acee wouldn't even rule out Merriman being cut. Extremely injury prone and lacking burst off the edge at this point in his career, Merriman holds little to no value in San Diego or anywhere else.Source: San Diego Union-Tribune
