  1. With all the injuries over the last couple of years the one thing we know is that Colvin can produce when healthy. I wonder why the Pats don't try and bring him back on an incentive based contract. It seems like a low risk and a high reward if it were to work out.

  1. Hawaii, I believe it's because Colvin still can't pass a physical - at least the Patriots physical. Other teams may have different standards.

  1. Who told you that Colvin wants to play for an "incentive based contract"? Who told you that the Patriots didn't speak with Colvin about that type of contract?

    You guys assume way too much, way too often.

  1. Hawaii never said that Colvin wants to play for an incentive-based contract. He's not assuming anything, only wondering about something that might or might not work out. I'm wondering if you might not ease up a bit, Sean.

  1. I miss Rosie already. Here's to hoping Mayo can fill his shoes!

  1. GoPats they will have completely different roles. Mayo wasn't drafted as his replacement. In a 3-4 system the outside/inside roles and body types in general are completely different.

  1. Larry- Actually, I was talking more of his role as a linebacker in general....not in the technical position....More of a "team" type comment...the "backerhood" if you will. Never said he was drafted as Rosie's replacement. Thanks!
