"We're always looking for good football players," Head Coach Romeo Crennel said. "I know Rosevelt personally. He's a good pro. He's a good player." Colvin played for Crennel in New England where the pair won two Super Bowls. "Our priority right now has to be corner, and we'll see what happens after that," Crennel said.

He inquired about both, but the price appeared to be too high for the organization. "We've got the cap space," Savage said. "The issue for the 'big-name player' would be the actual cash out the door, budget-wise. We're pretty much pressed up against our budget internally, so that's going to eliminate certain players, unless they have a change of heart. You don't really expect that at this point. It's only May 20. Maybe that changes by the time we get to training camp."
