There are reportedly rumors that former Patriots OLB Rosevelt Colvin's 2007 season ended due to a ruptured Achilles' tendon.

No wonder he hasn't gotten any play on the open market. Colvin, 30, may have to settle for a minimum-type deal to find a taker. His injury happened in late November, so if it's an Achilles, there's little chance he's healthy yet.

Vet Minimum? Yes, please.

That's a shame, he's been one of my favorites other than the occassional personal foul he'd get. I'd love to get him back if there's some chance of him being 100% sometime in the 2008 season.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Colvin has been one of the reasons for our success in three Super Bowls.

What is a ruptured achilles? Pretty serious I presume?

No, there is no such report.

Apparently, there isn't even a rumor. There have been reports of a rumor. Wow!! Reports of a rumor, that's a good one.

Actually. Until there is an actual rumor (not a reported one) of an actual report from a source (hopefully authorized or at least verifiable).

The word actually should not appear at all in this blurb.

It could be true but apparently the author's aren't willing to back it up.

If I were Colvin I would sit 2008 out and come back fully healed and ready to go in 2009.

That injury could definately recur if not fully healed before the season,I think its better he take a year off.

If i was him i'd just retire since i'm a millionaire.

It would be nice to do nothing

I am surprised by this, I thought we heard rumors that he could've been back in time for the Super Bowl had he not been put on IR, that it wasn't that serious. Anyone else remember hearing that? Though this does back up why he's had ZERO interest from anyone.
