Hmm…
Feb 27, 2008 Eagles Rumors
While the Internet was exploding with talk of a Randy Moss to the Cowboys rumor, the Patriots pretty quietly released a big member of their defense — Roosevelt Colvin. Colvin is a playmaker who spent the end of the season on the injured list.
The Patriots were due to pay him over $7 million, which they clearly felt was too much. Although that may be true, keep in mind this is a team with an aging linebacker group — Colvin is younger than Vrabel, Bruschi, and Seau.
So the move is a curious one. It will give the Patriots $5 million extra in cap space — perhaps a step towards signing you know who.
