Any thing is possible. I think it would be a good gamble, especially at 25 and we don't give up a 1st round for him. He was a dominate 3-4 LB.
As far as the idea Ted Thompson doens't go after people with bad reputations or that have been in trouble. Look at the TE we drafted this year.
I would say this is just a rumer but the fact that Merriman twittered this himself sounds like something happening. Like the deal is done (as far as trade) and that a contract is being renegotiated.
To many people seem to think they had Ted Thompson pegged. No one thought he ever would trade up like last years draft with Mathews.

I'd caution you on the part I bolded. It could also be Merriman just stumping for himself. It's pretty clear that he's not long for San Diego - whether the exit is this year or next. He knows his maximum value is as a 3-4 rush LB, and he knows that the Packers need exactly that. So he drops hints in his tweets, knowing full well that we, the Packer fans, will catch them and start drooling at the prospect.
Or you're absolutely right. I'm skeptical, but we'll see.
