Now that San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has reported and signed his $3.269 million one-year tender, it has cost linebacker Ali Highsmith his job. The team announced that Highsmith has been released. Highsmith was recently claimed off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Highsmith spent the past two seasons with the Cardinals after being signed as an undrafted rookie from LSU. Highsmith played in 20 games over two seasons for the Cardinals and had 17 career stops on defense and 15 on special teams. Source: National Football Post
I remember Highsmith coming out of college. His stock really fell hard after the combine. Would be surprised if some team doesn't pick him up as a tryout.
