Giants Ink Rolle to 5 Year Deal

In what figures to be a long off-season for the Giants, Big Blue made its first step to improving the franchise when it signed former Cardinals saftey Antrele Rolle to a five year contract. He will make $37 million over the course of the deal.

Rolle is a terrific safety, developing the reputation as a ball hawk and a hard hitter. The Giants need help in the secondary considering Kenny Phillips was lost for the year with injury. With Phillips and Rolle in the secondary the Giants defense should be that much better in 2010.

Look for Big Blue to improve its linebacking corps. next after the release of Antonio Peirce in January.
