According to the National Football Post, Bills DE Shawne Merriman has "gotten outstanding reviews" in his return from Achilles' and shoulder surgeries.
Per NFP reporter Dan Pompei, Merriman "looks like he will" help the Bills this season, assuming he continues to stay healthy. Merriman would compete with Mark Anderson for playing time at right end, across from LE Mario Williams. Merriman has managed just one sack since the end of the 2009 NFL season.

Bills OLB Shawne Merriman (Achilles, shoulder surgeries) insists he'll be healthy and ready to contribute this season.
"I was very pleased as far as how things went with the (Achilles) surgery," Merriman said. "I feel great now." Lights Out expects to be "full stride" by June, and "absolutely" 100 percent for the regular season. Merriman has appeared in just 23 games the past four seasons, so believe it when you see it. He is not a wise investment in IDP leagues despite his formerly immense potential.

Coach Chan Gailey isn't counting on Shawne Merriman (Achilles, shoulder surgeries) for a major contribution in 2012.
"The setback was not good. Now how far does he have to go?" said Gailey. "... Now we're back to square one or below square one maybe." Gailey revealed that Merriman will play a situation pass rusher role as a defensive end as opposed to an outside linebacker in Dave Wannstedt's 4-3 defense.

The Bills are looking for a complement to OLB Shawne Merriman this offseason.
Merriman projects as a situational pass rusher in the Bills' transition to a 4-3 defense, and his ability to stay healthy remains in serious doubt coming off an Achilles' injury that limited him to eight games over the past three seasons. The Bills are also expected to formally move Chris Kelsay back to defensive end.

Sidelined
Stevie Johnson will undergo groin surgery "over the next couple of days" to repair the injury that plagued him throughout 2011.
He has three months before the start of training camp, which should be plenty of time. Johnson's agent characterized the operation as "extremely minor," and assured that his client would "be at [the Bills'] facility for all activities." Johnson played through the injury all last year. He still caught 76 passes for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns, setting a career high with a 13.2 yards-per-reception average and finishing as the No. 21 fantasy receiver.

Bills waived QB Aaron Corp and S Ian Wild.
Buffalo appears poised to take three quarterbacks to camp: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Vince Young, and Tyler Thigpen. Though Corp was somewhat heralded as a former five-star prep recruit, he didn't show well in Bills rookie minicamp.
