Talk about possible training-camp holdouts by Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeill and Shawne Merriman has dominated the San Diego Chargers' offseason. But Merriman could report after all. The only question might be when. Sources told The San Diego Union-Tribune on Saturday that the Chargers and Merriman are in the early stages of discussing the possibility of the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker signing his one-year, $3.269 million tender and joining the team. Merriman said last week that he isn't sure when he'll report to training camp. But Chargers coach Norv Turner would like Merriman there Friday, when full-team workouts begin. "Because of the things he's been through, he (Merriman) would benefit greatly from having a full, great training camp and getting back to doing the things he does healthy," Turner told the newspaper. "I don't care who you are, if you're not 100 percent ... there are things you can't do that you used to do, you're not instinctive. The way you get those things back is by going 100 mph and practicing." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...-merriman-discussing-when-hell-report-to-camp
