That sure would not suck if he came here. Wonder what the price would be?
-
could solidify the defensive backfield @ FreeSafety :yes: I believe a deal can be struck because of what we have to offer as a franchise to a serious young, but proven talent & his desire to return home
-
We definately have a need at Free Safety. But, doesn't that say he has a year remaining on his contract?
-
1) he wants to come (home) to Miami
2) Antrel is in his last year & would be very expensive w/ bonuses owed & a newly structured contract for the cardinals to keep
3) w/ Werner retiring & injuries on the offensive line, the Cardinals have other priorities in 2010
4) this is a real possibility & opportunity -
It says the Cardinals will likely cut him to avoid paying a $4million bonus by March 1. If they cut him, he's free game. Heck yes, would love to see him back there with Bell. Would IMHO eliminate the need to draft a FS since I think we've got his ultimate replacement in Culver anyway. Or is it Clemons? Nate Jones? I'm terrible at names, plus on pain meds now so gimme a break, :lol:
-
I don't see any reason why we shouldn't go after this guy. We have a major need for a (real) free safety.

There is ZERO chance they just cut him.
Truth is, especially if they trade Boldin, the Cards will be just fine in Cap Space. -
He will most likely hit FA.
-
Solid player at a position of need. I would love for this to happen if the price isn't too high.

Yeah, well...just trying to be realistic.
I would love nothing more than for us to get Carlos Dansby, Anquan and heck, throw Darnel Dockett in there as well....but, it just doesn't happen like that.MrEd likes this. -
no it doesn't but if I had my druthers i would much rather have Rolle than Boldin
Antrelle is a great young player and would solidify a need without giving up a pick
i still hate the idea of giving up even a third round pick for Boldin
his better days are behind him
Rolle could have a bright future with the DolphinsHULKFish, Tin Indian, finyank13 and 1 other person like this. -
Oh, I would take either of them in a heartbeat, either instantly makes us a MUCH better team, and both are very clearly positions of need.
I just don't see the Cards simply cutting Rolle anymore than they would Boldin....that's all I'm saying.
I would, without hesitation, give up a 3rd for either one :yes: -
concur w/ Friend KillerFin:
would much rather have Rolle than Boldin :yes:
I think there is a very good possibility
of this potential transaction coming to fruition -
Heheh reminds me of the bruise brothers Lyle and Glen Blackwood on our killer B defense.
-
Yep, well, I hope you guys are all right, and I'm wrong on this one. Rolle would obviously fill a position of serious need. :yes:
-
never know what the FrontOffice is thinking, just have to wait & see. I like the idea, looks doable & like a fit.
-
Hopfully they can't reach a deal and he comes down to Miami it would be nice to have a pro bowl FS
-
They just covered him on NFL Total Access. He's a bit bigger than his brother but he's a very bright kid.
-
Just went back and read it again, that's what I get for skimming it the first time. Bring him on! If we can pay Gerbil 8 mil or so, we should be able to pay someone who can actually play Free Safety enough to get him here.late again likes this.

100%. I'll be fair to Wilson here. He did at times play pretty well. But other times - way too many of them too, he just got burned, beaten and butt humped.
He's too similar to Bell and we really do not need 2 of them. Antrelle Rolle would be a huge help. -
Did someone say he was a FS?
-
Wilson is a strong safety
i.e. we have two starting strong safeties
one of which
is usually obliged to play @ FreeSafety
not good
we need a legitimate starter @ FreeSafety
like to see us pick up Rolle & trade Bell -
Really bro? I would much rather keep bell and kick Wilson to the curb. :no: -
FreeSafety not StrongSafety is the problem
Wilson & Bell are comparable in talent
six of one, half dozen of the other
Bell has greater trade potential
and Wilson has youth on his side
my best guess:
one of the two will go & it won't not be Wilson
FreeSafety not StrongSafety is the problem -
As always I appreciate your guess/opinion bro, but Wilson's lack of stones sickens me and I would be surprised if they kept him. :tongue2:
-
I respectfully believe you are wrong about Wilson.
he was sacrificed playing out of position.
as a strong safety he is top drawer.
we need to fortify our defense straight up the middle
the only exception being @ StrongSafety.
we need a NT, ILB, FreeSafety :yes:
(sarcasm often sours the milk of human kindness) -
Apparently Dansby was on the radio and said that Miami was a place of interest for him....
from Schein via twitter....
dansby on giants - "if they have interest in me, why not? let's go" - also listed sd, mia, and washington as interesting options. -
think about it.
Strong Safety is the only position of strength
we have filled in our center defense.
why would they undo both Wilson & Bell? Illogical.
think about it. -
The thinking for some is that their skills are comparable but Wilson is a couple years younger than Bell.
-
We are absolutely the worst at picking up big talent in FA. No way this happens...and when it doesn't happen, it will be because of something very minor.
-
All I know is that when Bell makes a tackle he lowers his shoulder wraps up and makes contact. Where as Wilson who tends to shut his eyes and grasp blindly for a piece of jersey.
