The Dolphins cut Merling earlier this offseason. A second-round pick in 2008, Merling has played in 46 games with three starts, recording 66 tackles, 3½ sacks, two fumble recoveries, an interception-return touchdown and eight passes defensed. He has some off-the-field problems, including an arrest for aggravated battery against his pregnant girlfriend in May 2010 — the charges were later dropped — and a torn Achilles tendon suffered in the 2010 offseason that cost him much of the ’10 season. Ford is a rookie out of Wake Forest and Hill, a first-year player out of Southern Illinois, signed with Green Bay on Jan. 20.

According to Pro Football Weekly, it might mean that Matthews could be moving to right outside linebacker this coming season. Considering how much bigger Perry is than Matthews, which makes him a more natural fit for the strong side, and the problems Matthews had on occasion with certain right tackles last season. A right-side shift for Matthews just might be in the offing. Source: The Redzone (http://theredzone.org/BlogDescription.aspx?EntryID=26407)

But according to Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Driver shed some additional light on his playing status for the upcoming season. “I think so many people right now are worried if I’m going to be a Packer,” Driver said in a telephone interview. “I’m still under contract. My contract is not over with the Packers. I will be a Packer for life. I don’t think that’s ever going to change. I think that’s what I want the fans to understand. Don’t worry. If you haven’t heard it from me or you haven’t heard it from the Packers, you can’t listen to the reporters, the media. … You have to trust me, and you also have to trust the Packers that I will be a Packer for life.” Driver is in Los Angeles preparing for next week’s “Dancing With the Stars” finale. Driver expressed a willingness last January to take a pay cut, and his agent, Jordan Woy, said on Thursday he has discussed Driver’s contract with the Packers. Woy said he expects to work out the details once Driver returns to Green Bay following his dancing gig.

Hargrove is appealing his suspension, which was imposed because of his involvement in the New Orleans’ bounty scandal, so it’s possible he could be available. Their banishment doesn’t begin until the start of the regular season. But McCarthy clearly can’t wait around in the hope either player can contribute, which is one reason the Packers selected defensive linemen Jerel Worthy and Mike Daniels in the draft.News goes here.

Quarless suffered a torn ACL in his right knee last December during a regular season game against the New York Giants. McCarthy said he will be “challenged” to return by the start of training camp in late July. McCarthy also said on Sunday following the Packers’ final rookie orientation camp that Quarless is champing at the bit and is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation.

He joins safety Jerron McMillian, a fourth-round pick, in signing. That leaves six more picks still to sign.

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, no meeting was ever scheduled. It was also reported that Grant had an offer on the table from the team, but that too appears to be in question now. The New England Patriots brought Grant in for a visit, but ultimately chose to sign Joseph Addai in recent days. If the Lions aren’t interested in him, the Packers would appear to be his best opportunity, but there’s still no guarantee that they’ll end up re-signing him.

The preference seems to be Ryan Grant who rushed for 559 yds in Green Bay last season, but Benson is said to have a real desire to join the silver and black . John Clayton from ESPN reports Benson has stated that he is still hoping to fill the void left behind when Michael Bush left for Chicago, and that he may be willing to work for the veteran league minimum to do so. Benson rushed for over a 1,000 yards last year for the third consecutive year and scored six touchdowns despite missing a game to suspension. Ryan Grant could be the guy the Raiders covet most, maybe due to his Green Bay roots.
