Texans Sign LB Colvin

By Houston Mercier | June 17th, 2008

The Texans have signed veteran LB Roosevelt Colvin as a free agent in a search to improve their talent-laden defense and provide leadership to the young players on the team.

Colvin has played for the Chicago Bears (1999-2002) and New England Patriots (2003-2007) in his nine NFL seasons, notching 360 tackles and 52.5 sacks.

He is known as a pass-rushing specialist and will be a welcome addition to the defensive push opposite stud end Mario Williams.

If Colvin stays healthy you will get a great pass rusher enabling the Texans to improve in your division.

Even if Rosy rotates in your system he is someone the other team has to account for.

At least he will still be chasing Manning around the field!
