Former Pat to Play for Texans

The New England Patriots released Roosevelt Colvin earlier this offseason, mostly due to his injury issues during the 2007 season.  Colvin had played for the Pats since 2003 and was a favorite among the fans, mostly due to his contributions during the two seasons the Pats won the Super Bowl while he was a part of the team.  However, the problems of an aging linebacking corps made Colvin expendable, and he and his chronically-injured foot sought employment elsewhere.  Today, it is being reported that Colvin will play for the Houston Texans next season.
While terms of the contract were not disclosed, it is being reported that Colvin has agreed to sign with the Texans.  He has passed his physical, which would lead us all to conclude that any lingering effects from his injured foot have faded into oblivion.  At age 30, Colvin is not likely to be the one-man wrecking crew he was when played in Chicago and in his early days at New England, he should provide a welcome compliment to Mario Williams in Houston.  The Texans just picked up a very solid veteran if Colvin can stay healthy.
