Bored on a Friday night so I figured I get ya opinion. Which safety who is going to be a FA would you like the Giants to go after? I wouldn't mind someone like Rahim Moore, Ron Parker, Darian Stewart, or Da'Norris Seacy. Your thoughts??
I concur. Rolle's play was really soft last year and he didn't seem to have the "burst" of year's past in his legs. I just have a feeling the Giants will pass on him and go after a 5th year safety or two. In matter of fact, I think both Demps and Rolle are not likely coming back so two UFA's are a must.
will want big $. I think draft a SS high (2nd or 3rd) and try Rolle for one more year.
Rolle is a SS. And that's probably where Taylor and Berhe fit best, too. I don't know how differentiated the roles are going to be under Spagnuolo, but to the extent that they are, the Giants' big need is at FS.
I'd like to have him back, but the cost seems very high for a guy whose skills seem to be declining. I would not re-sign Brown or Demps. No way, no how.
Rahim Moore (DEN) would be a nice get...so would Darian Stewart(BAL).
In the draft, I like Durrell Eskridge, from Syracuse.
Id rather we spend the money on a safety with range and ball skills. Rolle isn't that kind of player and he's getting older. For pennies of course I'd keep him but he won't cost pennies.
FS or SS are usually interchangeable in NFL. McCourty is a beast, and he can play anywhere in the secodary. Rolle is getting long in the tooth, and they might take a flyer on two safeties, since they have multiple picks on the 7th round.
will only be a giant if he keeps his contract demands low enough and he is getting older and slower,and does make glaring mental errors on his coverage and angles at times too
if they could work out a deal to keep him as the backup and or special teams guy and for a reasonable price then great but i just cant see his ego allowing that
if the train wreck that is demps is on the roster next year they are in all kinds of trouble with the backend of the defence he was terrible
let Rolle go. Take money and rebuild with youth and athleticism/talent. Sure they will make mistakes, but that is the cost of neglect of the defense by this organization.
A wise safety who knows how to get the back seven to prepare...recruit free agents and keep DRC motivated is worth one more year. Especially if he accepts the 4 safety role
Strong Safety
26 Antrel Rolle
34 Nat Berhe
8 Thomas Gordon
Free Safety
27 Stevie Brown
35 Quintin Demps
30 Cooper Taylor
Now, I am all for adding a Safety in Free Agency and another in the Draft, but those would replace Brown and Demps. Rolle needs to be signed for another season even if just for transition to a new group.
Pretty much

He is a football player and lines up each week.
The difference in his ability to make plays this past season is that he didn't have reliable guys around him in Beason and Hill like the year before.
They love him but will let him go to be able to fix the broken defense.

This is our most important FA acquisition opportunity.
I'd spend to get a top guy. Its a passing league...
If we can get Rolle really cheap, I'd take him back too.
If the right guy is there high in the draft (not the lst round though), I'd grab him too.
Better letting go of a player a year too early than a year too late.
