In an expected move to clear up salary cap space, Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe is reporting that the New England Patriots are expected to release linebacker Rosevelt Colvin.
After spending the first four years of his career with the Chicago Bears, Colvin signed a 6-year, $25 million contract with the Patriots. Colvin suffered a hip injury early in his first campaign with the Patriots, but rebounded to play in 59 straight games before breaking his leg in November of last year.
Colvin was due to earn $5.5 million, but counted $7.6 million against the salary cap.

New England Loses Colvin for Season
The New England Patriots defense took a major hit on Sunday night when outside linebacker Rosevelt Colvin injured his foot. The Patriots have placed Colvin on injured reserve.
As Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe points out in that article, replacing Colvin will be no small task. During the game, the Patriots moved Adalius Thomas to outside linebacker and inserted Junior "The Graduate" Seau to Thomas' inside 'backer position. However, how comfortable are the Patriots with a 34 and 38-year old linebackers, who had been sharing snaps, logging a large amount of playing time down the stretch?
The Patriots could go to a more traditional 4-3 alignment on defense, but with the release of rookie defensive end Kareem Brown (to make room for the ageless Troy Brown) and the signing of 37-year old linebacker Chad Brown, it appears as though the Patriots are going to keep Adalius Thomas on the outside and use a trio of old linebackers to man the middle.
