Apparently he wasn't that impressive.
Two days after working out free agent defensive lineman Tommie Harris, news broke via Sean Jensen's Twitter account (@skjensen) that the Colts have signed Harris to a 1-year deal. Oh well.
In more promising news, the Patriots are seemingly looking to add to their defensive front seven, working out former Browns linebacker Matt Roth today and former Seahawks defensive end Raheem Brock tomorrow.
Even before Manny Lawson was signed earlier today to a 1-year deal with the Bengals, many Patriots fans and media members have thrown Roth's name around as a possible addition to the defense. The 6'4" 275 pound Roth started all 16 games for the Browns last season, recording 86 tackles (59 solo) and 3.5 sacks. Roth is a 7-year veteran out of Iowa whose experience and dependability can be of critical importance to the Patriots young group of linebackers.
Brock is built similarly to Roth, also standing 6'4" and weighing in at 274 pounds. Mostly remembered for his nine years with the Colts, Brock appeared in all 16 games last season, his first in Seattle. He did not start however. Brock is a ten-year veteran from Temple who had 36 tackles and set a career high with nine sacks. He also has a championship pedigree, winning a Super Bowl with the Colts and appearing in several postseason games. His leadership and experience will be invaluable should he join the Patriots. Plus he'll get to tee off on ex-teammate Peyton Manning and doesn't want to do that?
Finally, Brock did walk out on a 27 dollar bar tab, so I smell another Joan Venocchi column coming.
