Super Bowl XLVI
Shawne Merriman won't show for start of camp

Unsigned restricted free agent Shawne Merriman does not plan to show for the beginning of training camp.
Merriman, who wants assurances that he will not be traded, is in denial about the current state of his career. "I'm only coming back to be the guy on the defense," explained Merriman. "I'm not coming back to be a guy. I want to be on a team where someone is going to be building a defense around me." Teams don't build defenses around pass rushers with four sacks in two seasons. Merriman has no leverage right now.
