Patriots release LB Rosevelt Colvin, roster in flux

The Patriots released one of their more productive (and expensive) linebackers today in Rosevelt Colvin. Colvin was lost this past season to injury but was extremely productive while he played. He made the key INT to seal the game against Indy for the Pats to imrpove to 9-0. The defense’s play did dip after Colvin went down, but the Patriots were able to save around $5 million on their cap. There’s still a possibility Colvin could return if he doesn’t get the money he’s looking for in free agency.The big question now is what exactly Belichick and Co. have in mind as it relates to the defense.

    Ooops. I meant to say Chicago.

    The team could go for Bobby Carpenter from Dallas and use a late round pick…. obviously Bill Parcells liked him and drafted him (I liked him in that draft year too), but AJ Hawk and Lofa Tatupu have had better careers so far….

    Lance Briggs is from Pittsburgh, not San Francisco

    Whoops! I was thinking that Briggs was most likely HEADING to San Francisco, not FROM San Fran. My bad!
