Whitney Mercilus Expected To Sign With Packers
3 years agoFormer Houston Texans defensive end Whitney Mercilus is expected to sign with the Green Bay Packers, according to a league source. Mercilus was released by Houston just two days ago, but the former first-round pick will find a new home quickly. The 31-year-old veteran pass-rusher did have three sacks and 12 tackles (six solo) in his six games with the Texans before being cut. Don't expect Mercilus to play right away or have more than a rotational role on Green Bay's defensive line, but he will surely add some experience to the Packers pass-rushing depth moving forward.
