Lil Bit Special Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3446067 Free-agent linebacker Rosevelt Colvin has agreed to sign with the Texans, Houston media reported Monday. Colvin, who played for the Patriots for five seasons in which he won two Super Bowls, visited the Texans earlier this month and passed a physical. He was hampered last season with a foot injury, playing 11 games with four sacks, before his release. "I coached against him for many years and know he's a fine, fine player," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said when Colvin visited, according to The Associated Press. The Texans will be looking for Colvin, 30, to help boost the seventh-year franchise's pass rush opposite defensive end Mario Williams. Colvin was set to sign a contract Monday. Terms have not been disclosed. Colvin, 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds with 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSFAN5180 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Old and slow in my opinion. If New England scrap heaped him there must be good reason other than old and slow.They like old washed up LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mario Williams supplied the ONLY pass rush the Texans could muster last year. IMO it's a good addition for them IF he can stay healthy. I can see him lining up at DE too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Texans have a truly great front 7 and continue to add to it. That could be a scary defence next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Old and slow in my opinion. If New England scrap heaped him there must be good reason other than old and slow.They like old washed up LBs. Colvin was going to be a $7 million cap hit for the Pats if they kept him. Thats 90% of the reason they released him. I wonder what the Texans are paying him?
