Texans set to sign outside linebacker Colvin

After two weeks of negotiations, the Texans are signing outside linebacker Rosevelt Colvin today. General manager Rick Smith and agent Kennard McGuire agreed on a deal that will bring Colvin to Houston to become an outside pass rusher opposite Mario Williams. The Texans are hoping that Colvin, 6-3, 250, can provide another pass rush off the edge that was missing since last season. Colvin, an Indianapolis native who was drafted by Chicago, left the Bears as a free agent and signed with New England and turns 31 in September. With the Patriots, Colvin won two Super Bowl rings. -- Houston Chronicle

I think that could be a great sign for the Texans, with Williams just getting better, Colvin will really help against Garrard/Young/Manning.

Houston is slowly coming along. They have a nice little Defense going on down there.
