If you were GM, would you trade...
Larry Johnson for Shawne Merriman? A straight up trade assuming both players make the same amount of money and are under contract for the next 4 years.

Plus, DJ + Merriman would be a sick LB combo for years...
and Merriman will have a much longer career than LJ...not a knock on LJ, but LB's can play until their mid 30's...LJ probably has about 5 solid years left in him... |

Right now, LJ is about 50% of our offense, and about the only consistency we've seen on that side of the ball. Merriman is great, but I don't think 1 LB would give this D what it needs.
LJ is more of a contribution to this team than Merriman would be....

Maybe if our base D was a 3-4.
But as it stands now, if we brought in Merriman we'd have to revamp the entire D and it would probably neuter guys like Allen and Hali. I might say a stud defensive player is harder to find than a stud RB. But at this point Merriman could turn out to be Kendrall Bell.

Kendrell Bell was NEVER even close to as dominate as Shawne Merriman. Not even close... Plus, Bell was damaged goods when he got over here... |

I'm surprised by the initial poll results (2-7). I thought people would think back to Carl's first year in KC and the drafting of Derrick Thomas and how he was the heart and soul of the team in the early 90's. Personally, I'd take Merriman. Behind a decent line HBs are a dime a dozen.
