Bills | Shawne Merriman will be a DE

Although Buffalo Bills DE Shawne Merriman said he is better suited to play linebacker in a 4-3 scheme, he will play defensive end for the team. "Of course I've played linebacker my entire life, but when you're a football player you're a football player, you can put your hand in the dirt, you can stand up," Merriman said. "Obviously these guys, if they didn't think I could play, they wouldn't have brought me back. I'm happy to not only contribute, but just pick up where I left off and do what they need me to do."
