Just saw it on ESPN.com What do you guys think of him as a player. I think he'll find a home somewhere. I have espn insider if anyone needs news from the rumor mill or anything else, just hit me up.

I say we bring him in, then get him to tell us about all the different formations/calls from the patriots defence. lol

It was a big coup when the Patriots signed Rosevelt Colvin, but that era has come to a close.



Colvin

New England released the linebacker on Tuesday. Drafted by the Bears out of Purdue in 1999, Colvin spent his first four seasons in Chicago and established himself as a pass-rushing threat from his outside linebacker position. He registered 10½ sacks in both 2001 and 2002.

The Patriots signed the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Colvin as an unrestricted free agent in 2003. He had two sacks in his first two games that season before suffering a hip injury. While he never returned to his original form, Colvin did bounce back to lead the Patriots with seven sacks in 2005 and 8½ sacks in 2006.

His 52½ career sacks rank fifth among active NFL linebackers.

Last season, Colvin started 10 of his first 11 games before being shut down with a foot injury.

The Patriots also released linebacker Oscar Lua on Tuesday. He missed last season, his first, with a knee injury.

I veteran like that to help DJ would be good for us. If he comes fairly cheap, then I say bring him in.

Releasing Colvin but trying to lure in Thomas and keep Seau??


I'm not getting the Patriot logic.

Belliache is starting his own nursing home. It's the only logical explanation.

He's going back to New England at that cheap rate you all are hoping for. Let's get realistic.

I guess so, how long until he asks Brian Bosworth to come in for a workout??
