What do you all think? I think this might be someone we should give some serious consideration to signing. VC talked about going after guys that our coaches are familiar with, and Blache is very familiar with Colvin.

He's on the wrong side of 30 but so was Fletch, and Colvin seems like he could be for Blache what Fletcher was last year for Williams; a playmaker who understands and can communicate Blache's message to the rest of the players. Plus his age could mean a reasonable contract.

(I also say we should sign him so we can continue the Zorn pun craze we're on and see an "Every Rose Has a Zorn" headline somewhere)

to avoid futher contverosy later I say we take him for the "vet. min"

If Briggs didn't come here is Colvin a good alternative or is not making any move the better alternative?

i think it depends on the health status of rocky. Also there are a few linebackers in this upcoming draft that look like later picks that could be impact players...

I thought there were only a couple decent LBs in this draft. I'm just going on what the "experts" have stated thus far. Nfl.com's web pg. said today that LBs weren't impressive in the combine as well.

Colvin sounds like a good depth signing a la Godfrey of last year. What about Lemar Marshall? He becomes available in a few days.

Colvin was a beast last year for the patriots, pretty sure he actually played better then briggs, yet colvin plays next to bruschi vraebal and seau while briggs plays next to urlacher... I would actually prefer to see colvin a redskin more so than briggs because colvin is familiar with blache and he would be much cheaper...

If there's any position besides DB I want to see us spent some temporary money on, it's this one. I think he'd come far cheaper than Briggs and provide some insurance if Rocky wasn't quite ready.

seems like he is always hurt. and alittle bit too old for my liking. i say no
