He knows the Spags D, is a good citizen and leader and wouldn't be bad in a pinch if injuries occur? Do you think he would be open to a one year deal for the minimum or slightly more? Do we want him at this point?

He also has 0 history with Spags.
In a perfect world you enter camp and give the kids an opportunity. If they do well then great. If not then you give Rolle a call. The problem is he may not be around at that point in time. In terms of character and leadership it will be hard to find a better player.
(Besides, we've got so many on the board who think Mykkele is the real deal, or Cooper, or Behre or....) Money better spent on OL if an ORT becomes available

a signing of Antrel is going the wrong direction.
How did you feel about bringing back Deon Grant in 2011?
A vet minimum contract for a proven player who to take some low-pressure snaps at a position we're pretty thin in is certainly worth it, IMO.. and that's excluding that many on the team have played with him in the past and value him as a leader.
This whole idea of "going in the wrong direction" is so faux-narrative driven. The Giants declared what direction they're going in by spending Eleventy Trillion dollars on free agents this past offseason. What is so backwards about bringing in a proven player and seeing if he has anything left in the tank?
I have no idea what he has, how much he'd be used, etc. But it would be cool to have him in big brother mode for Thompson/Collins/Apple.
He read about it.
That was my question too?
Never heard of Perry Fewell?
Remember when we invited Manningham to camp for a 2nd stint? Remember when he didn't cut it and we cut him? Remember when all was right in the world after.
It's so strange you're all arriving at such definite conclusions in the absence of any real information except his age and subpar (one-year) stint with Chicago last year.
agree
pro-bowler as a rookie Trel has lost more than a step
absolutely loved him as a player tough SOB and a heady
player ....
He was in steady decline?
He played in all 16 games for us, had 87 tackles, 3 INTs and 9 passes defended in his final season for us. Made the Pro Bowl the year before that. I don't look at that and see steady decline.
Regarding pride; I'm not forcing him to sign anything or come to camp without certainties. With my posts here, I'm acknowledging the "no thank you" crew here. We are not remotely deep at safety and could certainly use his services.
Let's bring him in!!!
Let's bring him in!!!
But he had a great season 3 years ago.

The problem in football is if you are "veteran depth" you HAVE to play on special teams. He can't be a special teamer anymore
We need to be younger faster etc. would love if he got into coaching seems like a natural progression for him
