The person spoke on condition of anonymity on Tuesday because the move had not been announced yet.

Colvin was in the second year of a $ 34 million four-year contract with a $ 18 million guarantee.

Colvin gave two touchdowns in the second half of Monday's 30-28 loss. The first was scored 9 yards by Taysom Hill in the third quarter. He was then beaten at a 14-yard reception by Tre & Quan Smith later during the period. Colvin was also part of the cover when Ted Ginn grabbed a 9-yard reception that put the winning match on the line.

Colvin, 27, spent his first four years in Jacksonville before joining the Texans before last season. He has appeared in 10 games with two starts for Houston last season and finished with 29 tackles and two fumbles.
