Antrel Rolle deserves more recognition for the quality of his play. He's a play-maker, has great versatility & is a very good return man.

The guy get's plenty of recognition
He’s had one decent year since being drafted and we all have high hopes for him, but I think you’re right I smell another holdout bi*chfit if he has another year equal to or greater than this year and another guy to pay 10 million a year for.
Rolle will either be cut or traded after this season.
Drew is definitely laying the ground work for the next underpaid, underappreciated diva. I new this was gonna come, but I thought by midseason. Obviously we don’t know or hear everything coming out of the front office, but with the signing of RJ, they had to have known this was coming. RJ wasn’t drafted to be the backup. He was drafted to be the next starter. Didn’t you predict this Bezekira? Anyway, because of the format of Rolle’s contract, he is a big option for being cut because his contract grows to astronimical preportions near the end. We won’t be able to afford him. Drew is setting the market for the rest of the league after the inevitable departure.
Contract Negotiations
Rosenhaus takes another beating from Cards fans. Will someone please explain to me who in the hell negotiates these kinds of back-end loaded contracts that causes consternation with the fan base please? When “we” find out who this person is, will we call out this person ? Probably not. Rolle is now the next underappreciated diva, when all he did was sign his contract. How about looking at the big picture hevchv.
Any thought to idea that Rolle may like it in the desert enough to actually take less money to remain a Cardinal after this year. Maybe, he fires Rosenhaus and hires somebody we love.
Rashard Johnson does have ballhawking skills and could develop into a upper echelon FS in this league. RJ is smart but is not very physical or explosive. It will come down to how bad he wants Rolle’s job. One thing we already know about Rolle. He will force in run support and can make plays in pass coverage.
Lets not get ahead of our selves and get negative. Isn’t it a little early for that? Who knows maybe the person that negotiates these contracts can pull a rabbit out his/her hat and fix this "problem ".
Graves and about every other NFL GM designs rookie deals this way
At least the high draft choice deals. This is how GMs meet the overall contract value that the draftee expects depending on the value above and below them; this is how that rookie has to play and earn what the signed. Rolle’s cap number is already pretty high this season but the Cardinals feel he’s earned that. Next year’s number is getting “Fitzgerald” crazy which forces the hand of the GM to rework the contract or go with Plan B.
Rashad is clearly part of Plan B. So Rosenhaus is already tweeting. Action, reaction.
Still, if there’s any agent that is the epitome of “twitter” (to talk lightly and rapidly, esp. of trivial matters; chatter), it’s D. R. And no, it’s not early to get “negative” when fans have been putting up with D.R.‘s antics for years; he’s like a reoccurring posion-oak rash that just never seems to go away. It’s hard to not be negative about that. :P
The only reason Rolle makes “plays in pass coverage” is that he doesn’t have to do it every down. As a cornerback he was David Macklin-bad. As a free safety, he has good instincts. Against the Rams he has great instincts. Against Carson Palmer he has stellar instincts. Against the rest of the league, he’s good, but not $8 million/per good.
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
CF81 sounds pretty defensive about Rosenhaus. Does Drew sign your paychecks? What’s he pay his flunkies to troll the Internet drumming up support for his clients? Is he hiring? Would I have to play “balls on chin”?

I can’t remember if I predicted RJ was a future starter but that certainly sounds like something I’d shout from the mountain tops. He’s got the talent and it’s just a matter of time, IMO, but that doesn’t change the fact that Drew the Snake doesn’t need yet another vehicle to spout off about which of his clients need new contracts or are under appreciated. What happened to the good ’ole days when guys played for the name on the front of the jersey instead of the name on the back?
why is it that....
all the new terminology for internet communication keeps getting gayer and gayer.
If I told you i was blogging 6 years ago you probably would have called the cops on me.
and twitter…. tweeted, cmon now. Who names this crap?

Tel me Hev, syrup or jelly?
Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!
Apparently Twitter was originally called "FuckinAroundGotNothingBetterToDoAndCockSoreFromMasterbating" but the name was too long
So they went with an euphanism for the above…

I believe D.Rosensuck has a particular theme this year...
For clients on teams – “My client, (INSERT NAME HERE), is undervalued and requires more recognition (compensation) for what he alone contributes to the game. Many teams have expressed interest in him. Tweet tweet, I love sweaty mens.”
For clients who have been kicked off teams (see also released) – “My client, (INSERT NAME HERE), is a play maker and many teams have expressed interest in him. Everybody wants (INSERT NAME HERE), even the team who dropped him because he was a) a distraction to the team b) destroying team chemistry c) was a disciplinary nightmare d) wanted Jesus Christ money and/or e) legitimately was a victim of the cap due to the insane contracts that was negotiated. Tweet tweet, still loves the sweaty mens.”
Fill in any of his clients in there and then look back at almost any client this year and see where they fit. It works. Especially the last sentence.
