Antrel wants to come back...

will go to any team that actually wants him. I think he is at or near the end.

that would counter the Giants' read on his ability.

If he wants to be back, it's not going to be for a lot of money.

I appreciate everything he did for this team but he is little more than a name now and it is much wiser to go with the young kids than a broken down veteran.

not to mention in Chicago, his performance isn't getting any younger.

We need another starting oline. Not an aging saftey.

when asked that question?

He is looking for that final contract, and would be open to any team offering him something.....

He is more a SS, than free safety....he doesn't have the speed to be a FS anymore........

Vet min....as a backup.....maybe....

Starter? No....

But I don't think he would sign for vet min.....

Thanks.

so it's not like he knows the playbook and could help the young guys

if he comes in at vet minimum. it's a thin part of the roster, so, hopefully Collins and Thompson start. Rolle fights with others for one of last two spots. But, if you think he will take time from someone who will eventually start or contribute, it might not work.

potential added benefit - he might help out with the mysterious DRC issue(s).

how about as a nickel LBer? use him to blitz on passing downs? I am not saying i def want him, i just feel is it really possible that he cannot be used for ANYTHING?!?

Don't go backwards

If he's willing to accept vet minimum, I see no reason why the Giants shouldn't welcome him back. He's a vet who can teach, he's motivated and a leader. Aside from that, if he's not willing to accept vet minimum, he should seriously consider hanging them up. Not likely a team is going to take a chance on him.

maybe even after the first game before he signs with anyone.

He doesn't need training camp added to his mileage, or to take playing time away from young guys. But just like a Brandon Merriweather type he could be signed later.

Especially after teams start suffering injuries.

But time to move on from the past & let the next generation show what they got.

not the 2016/17 Antrel

What else do we expect him to say?

He has so much knowledge and he can teach our young safeties so much. He understands the game and had us in good position.

Min.

Trell was not a Spags guy.

What makes you think he's a good teacher? Our secondary was constantly caught out of position during his reign as a "leader" on the team. Just because someone is a leader, doesn't mean he's a good leader.

So I guess the question is whether he is healthy again or not.

when there's a ceremony at the stadium for the 10th anniversary of XLVI

I'd give him a shot. He would help the younger guys too.

But the Giants need to let these young players develop and grow plain and simple..

sign Slauson if possible and make that trade with SF for the local kid for a conditional 4th if he plays X number of snaps (moves to a third next year) The team would be thrilled to have a young quality starting RT for a third round pick. Hart can then apprentice at Guard or tackle for a year or two and step in if injury happens. If Slausen can't be signed Hart goes to starting guard. Lets hope Rosenhaus has luck with that buyback issue and the Giants are talking to Baalke? The right side of the line suddenly becomes a strength replacing Jerry and Newhouse who are just not quality players in my opinion. As for Rolle, The Giants already have one in the box LB in the secondary (Collins). I don't see why they should have two. Neither can run and cover very well and we saw what happened last year when Collins had to cover in space (especially TEs). Not pretty.

assistant coach/Quality Control/make up a title.
Even if it was just to work w/Collins on being the 'down-low' Safety.
I don't think he fits in Mcs big picture.

R.W. McQuarters/Deon Grant role (at the end of his career). a guy who can "jump in" at most DB spots, plug and leak and keep the D intact. and as a heady vet he'll make a play when it comes to him

of course, these guys aren't worth much more than vet min. we'll see

Its the end of the day for 'Trels career. Thanks, but, pass...

make the roster younger and more athletic you're missing something. Rolle has no value to us at this point.

Chicago cut. RG Slauson played very well last year 6'5"320 good in the locker room.

For he can prove otherwise, great

Not "for"

These phones suk

Response to the OP.

Go Look at my recent thread about Rolle. Like I said he could possibly help the Giants win SB 51. Lets see what happens im waiting for him to sign before making another thread saying " I told you so" again.

Giants age average on the team is 25......Rolle is fine. Only two old guys are the kicker and Eli....Somewhat.

So again it wouldn't surprise me

Also JR Has proven you can never have to many safeties.

Benett Jackson for Rolle? Come on...

Deon Grant was 32.....Give it a rest people saying he's old.

The difference being that Rolle hasn't shown anything in 2 years. He is done. He isn't going to get any better. That's why they let him go to Chicago, that's why Chicago cut him. Let it go. Some of you guys need to get over your obsession with names.
