Colon's career has several paths when lockout ends

His future has not generated as much speculation as Ike Taylor's but Willie Colon finds himself in a similar situation as the Steelers cornerback.

First, I wonder if many other teams would consider him more than an average lineman. Second, he is coming off a major injury. Third we made it to the superbowl without him last year. Fourth, I think our line will be better this year with or without him.

Willie has a great attitude and I really like him BUT all things considered I certainly hope we don't get into a bidding war to keep him.
