Colvin Close To Landing With a Team

This from NFL. Com's Adam Schefter:

Now that former Patriots linebacker Rosevelt Colvin has passed his physicals and demonstrated he could play in a game tomorrow, Indianapolis and Houston each are pushing to sign him. And each has a selling point. Colvin played high school football in Indianapolis, and it would be nice to return. But the Texans have their general manager Rick Smith, who once successfully recruited Colvin to Purdue. Now Smith is trying to successfully recruit Colvin again.

I don't know why Colvin would want to sign with a cellar dweller like the Texans over a perennial contender like the Colts. The Texans are most likely offering Colving more playing time, and perhaps a starting role as a linebacker on the team. The Colts probably aren't offering much more than a situational pass rusher job. 

There's no way the Colts are going to offer more money than the Texans, either. And with comments like this from Bill Polian,

Polian also said while the team hadn’t ruled out acquiring free-agent linebacker Rosevelt Colvin, he said, “There’s nothing imminent there."

, it looks the Colts are playing the "I'm going to really act like I don't want you so that you'll want me more" card. It totally works on chicks, but we'll see if it works on Rosey Colvin.

Colvin

I’m really indifferent on him. I don’t see why he should earn more than the veteran’s minimum, and to be honest, Curtis Johnson is just as appealing to me as Colvin. If we sign him, fine. If we don’t, fine. Either way, the pass rush is going to be elite this year, with or without Rosey.

I really don't want Colvin in Houston

that would double the chance of another Colvin-Charlie Johnson matchup. The last play they faced eachother ended the Colts chances of knocking off the Pats.

That wouldn’t be a problem if the Colts would cut his ass.

Go Colts!

It's possible that the guys behind him

are even worse. Worse than Charlie Johnson, I can’t even imagine it, but it seems like the only way he could still be on the team. Do you want guys worse than Charlie Johnson protecting Manning. He’d probably be dead by halftime.

Don't Want

I have no real desire for the Colts to sign Colvin. I mean, if they sign him for the league minimum, whatever. I just don’t think he will even make the team. With so much young, up and coming talent, why would we want to spend a roster spot on an aging, oft injured player that doesn’t even really fit our scheme. I think the only reason Polian and Dungy want to bring him in is for insurance. If the Colts get to camp and discover that 1 or 2 of the pass rushers don’t look up to par (or get injured in camp), they will keep him. However, if everyone turns out to be as good as advertised (and knowing Polian, they will be), he has no place on the team.
