It looks like the Patriots made a smart move and decided to let Rosevelt Colvin go, the 30 year old linebacker has being coming and going with injuries, first the one on his hip on 2003, just after getting traded from the Bears, such injury left him out of the football fields for one year while his team was winning super bowls. He was placed on the injured reserve again on November after getting injured on his foot in a game against the Eagles.
The Patriots took such decision knowing that it was his last year of contract and so they preferred to use the $5.5 million he was making as base salary to acquire free agents.
Adalius Tomas looks like the guy who will be mostly replacing him, but since he will be playing a different position than the one he is accustomed to, then the Pats will be left with an empty gap in the middle of their defense, but a switch on playing roles might come as a relief for New England.
Wise decision from the Patriots, as a player that is plagued with injuries is never going to deliver the same way as before, so bringing new blood and let him go might be what New England needs to start fresh this coming season.
