Suspended DE Merriman to spend time off helping to rebuild N.O.

i love him as a player. him and polamalu are two of the best defenders out there. would love to have them in the black and gold.

We could have had Troy but Haslett thought it would be wise to trade 2 first rounders for Sullivan. The Steelers picked him right after where our picks would have been. Keep in mind this was right after Haslett thought it would be a good idea to get rid of Sammy Knight.
