Although the Arizona Cardinals would like to make their efforts to retain free agent safety Antrel Rolle, they may just let him to enter the free agent market this Friday as they are reluctant pay the $12 million Rolle’s current contract calls for his service in 2010 season.
“We will continue to work with him and treat him as if he is a free agent we are pursuing,” Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said. “We’ve always been under the impression Antrel wanted to remain an Arizona Cardinal. We have been able to develop him and we have seen him develop into an outstanding player and we want to keep that relationship going. We’re not looking to lose quality players, but again, all of those decisions have to make sense to us from a team standpoint. Obviously he is a top priority.”
Contrary to what Graves said, the Cardinals are actually losing quality players. Quarterback Kurt Warner has retired, linebacker Karlos Dansby is determined to join the free agent market and the club is determined to trade wide receiver Anquan Boldin. As the possibly best available safety, Rolle could expect great deal from several teams. To remain in Cardinals jersey could be the last choice.
