He's the only one on D acting like a Captain

id like to apologize for him being cut this offseason. JR most pull that trigger ,its tough but you have to do it sometimes. Brown is ready to step up and we can draft a safety also

Yes he is. Antrelle Rolle brings it and plays hard every game. Sure he messes up but he gives it his all and fears no one. We need him to stay on this team.

Well said. Cutting him at this point is blasphemy.

We tend to forget he has rarely played his natural position since being here. But he never takes himself out of games and owns up to his own mistakes. I like Stevie Brown and he surely has a nose fort the ball, but he's made some errors that cost us as well. I think we'd be better off with both here next season.

Why would you want to do this when we would have to replace him via the draft or FA? I say keep him if possible, as others have said we may lose KP to FA and losing Rolle on top of that would leave a large hole in our defensive backfield. We have enough holes to fill via the draft so I think keeping Rolle is in our best interest.

Anyone know offhand what the cap hit would be if we got rid of Rolle?

sometimes this kids says the right thing, sometimes he says the wrong thing.

at least this was the right thing to say.
