Still no Mike Merritt
I wonder what’s up.

Clarification Request
Agreeing to terms of a contract with Merritt does not obligate the Chiefs to pay him x dollars or keep him on the roster, does it?

I don't believe so
I think the only money they would be obligated to pay would be small signing bonus. And for a 7th rounder, that bonus is probably only a few thousand.

Well then
the only 3 answers I can think of are
1) Merritt has done so well in OTA’s that his agent is haggling for more money (unlikely)
2) he’s not going to training camp (more likely)
3) He is hard to reach by cell phone (he must have sprint)

Careful.. the name could end up on the sides of Arrowhead…

Possibly not sign?
I don’t know that it’s been said specifically yet, but one has to wonder if Merritt is just a blown draft choice that they’ve decided was a mistake and they’re not going to sign. I’m sure many of us have had that thought.

Kinda funny
Any other year having 8 players signed before camp would be 100% success! However, I’m glad we have the extra 4.
Also, has anyone seen that Jason Taylor is now a Redskin?

Yes, He's Dancing with the Hogs
Headline: 8 players signed!
Always the glass half full, aren’tcha, Lanier. =]

Did my comment come off sounding negative?
I didn’t mean it that way.

Not at all!
Your comment seemed very positive. Hence the “full” end of the glass. (Not empty.) I was grinning. And it was a good observation.
Also, I hand’t seen the Jason Taylor trade mentioned on this site yet, so good heads up.
