    No, not Samari... Antrel. Antrel Rolle was taken just 2 picks behind Pac-Man in the 2005 Draft. Was drafted and played corner at the start of his career, the last year and half he played safety.

    Antrel Rolle was released by the Cardinals (money problems). I think we should take a look at him to play #2 corner. The Jets got Cro for a 3rd! Why didn't we? I think we should really consider getting Rolle, then we can focus on DE in the 1st.

    That wouldn't be a bad idea, if he could play CB. He wasn't very good playing CB but was an ok S.

    He'll probably be able to get more money if he goes to Miami. That and he's a U douch3.

    He's too slow to play CB. He'd need to play safety.

    He'd be worth a look and someone that could compete for a spot or add depth to an injury-consistent secondary.

    i dont think that move would help us at all. Rolle sucked as a corner and Griff didnt fair much better. Griff and Hope are good at the S position , we just have to find some corners.

    He will go somewhere else and be a starting safety. Some teams are really weak at safety.

    The Titans aren't one of those teams. Rolle wouldn't really be an upgrade over Griffin or Hope.

    I'd like to peep his skills from a closer look. I really would like it if the Titans called his people for a interview or something. Playing CB in TN isn't the same as other places. He could work out great for us.

    He's actually very fast and certainly fast enough to keep up with wideouts. His problem is he doesn't have the fluid hips needed to play corner. So yes he is a safety but not because of lack of speed.
