Those natural supplements at GNC must work great!
First pic is chopped. His tattoo is missing and the neckline is fuzzy. Nice try though.
It's possible that the tattoo was done after the pic was taken.
He looks the same in this pic(notice how big his neck is and no tat):
EDIT: Link is the suck.

Dude, you are a total homer. He didn't have the neck tattoo until the 2006 season. Witness these photos, which I did NOT photoshop (because I don't know how) direct from View Images:
2005

Taking it further, the site that DLF got these pics from says this:
These photos were not altered or doctored in any way by Taco Bill. According to ViewImages.com, the top photo was taken on May 5, 2005. The bottom photo was snapped on May 30, 2007. (To confirm, go to ViewImages.com, search "Shawne Merriman," and compare the head shot on page 7 to the head shot on page 20.)
He seems to have gotten a few shades lighter as well.
I call shenanigans.
The first picture has a full goatee
while the second does not.
Completely different dude.
Still looks chopped. Do you not see the fuzzyness around the neckline? And just because PFT says they aren't altered I'm supposed to believe them? They are a site dedicated to rumors.
I don't get it.
Are you saying it's chopped and he was never that big or they chopped it to make him look smaller?
He looks smaller in this pic with his pads on then in the first pic we're discussing.
I think it's legit. Look how angry he looks in the top picture. A clear sign of roid rage. In the bottom picture he looks gleeful, happy even. That's because there is no roids in his system.
I'll grant the fuzziness, but his whole head seems to have slimmed down considerably a la Pudge. In the second pic I posted, his face and neck are the size of Mars.
I just think its stupid to try and compare the two pictures. They aren't even cropped equally. The first one crops all the wasted space so he fills out the entire frame, while the second one does not.
I'd like to get Mouse or Slomo's opinion on the first picture.
Why would ViewImages photoshop anything?
I can understand you not believing a buncha bloggers but why would ViewImages (the consumer site of Getty Images) photoshop anything?
I just think its stupid to try and compare the two pictures. They aren't even cropped equally.
It just looks photoshopped to me, and I don't know why anyone would do it.
Speaking of Merriman, did everyone see Maurice Jones Drew make him his ?
In fairness, they found his 2006 to compare. One thing's for sure, he is definitely getting lighter.

Don't look that different.
He also came into the draft not knowing if he'd play DE or LB so it wouldn't surprise me that he's bigger in the 05 picture.
So you are saying the as a DE he needed to stay roided up even more than if he was going to play LB?
his beard has also slimmed down considerably.
