ESPN's Chris Mortensen said on ESPN Radio Thursday morning that San Diego could trade linebacker Shawne Merriman during the draft. There has been talk of Merriman's availability all offseason but he would have to sign his restricted free-agency tender to facilitate a trade. If a team wanting to trade for Merriman is willing to give him a new contract, It would not be hard to imagine he wouldn't have a problem signing his tender to kick start the trade. Source: ESPN.com
