"Lights Out" had 39½ sacks in his first three seasons. He's had only four in the three seasons since then due to numbers of injuries. He was suspended for four games in 2006 after testing positive for steroids, he ended that year with 17 sacks. Merriman blamed the positive test on a tainted supplement.
He was arrested just before the 2009 season after reality television star Tila Tequila accused him of battery and false imprisonment at his home. No charges were filed, and Merriman and Tequila settled the lawsuits.
Merriman missed most of the 2008 season after undergoing reconstructive knee surgery. He had four sacks last year as he tried to regain his form. After sitting out most offseason workouts and part of training camp to protest his contract status, he was slowed by an Achilles injury and then a calf injury.
Good luck "Lights Out".
