NFL.com Blogs Blog Archive Market closing for LB Lewis; Rolle wants out

Quote:

“Honestly, I don’t want to play in Baltimore anymore because I feel I’m not wanted,” said Rolle, who has started for the Ravens the past four seasons. “During the past two years, the Ravens have wanted to replace me, and the only man in the building that supported me was Rex [Ryan, the former defensive coordinator].

“I have nothing against the organization, nothing against ownership. I just feel it’s time for me to move on. Never have I challenged this organization, but I think it’s in both our best interest.”

It's possible Ryan already has an offer waiting, but this might be worth watching...

Nope. There were metrics out there that had him as the worst starting CB in the league, and I buy it. Even with everything else the Baltimore defense had going for it, he still looked bad. This would be Deltha O'Neal all over again.

He wonders why Baltimore doesn't seem to want him: it's because he sucks and can be easily replaced.

would certainly be worth considering, yes yes

need someone back there besides what we have

Between Revis and now Lito, the Jets have no more room for a high priced CB.

Can't have to many quality CBs, I am not saying Rolle is quality.

If Rex wants him, then so be it. Still I wouln't get all excited about him.

No, he's past his prime.

Wilhite and Wheatley are the future of our backfield, and they're both going to be good, so what's the rush to get a CB here? I think we need a vet, but not a high profile one.

We have never had great CBs; we masked that deficiency by being great with our pass rush. That's what we need, a legit outside quarterback eating monster. The more I think this through the more I think that we should either be trying to get Peppers. Send two 2s to Carolina and get this guy.

The future? I wouln't go that far. They'll be here a few years, but we have to wait and see. Wilhite appears closer to being the future than Wheatley.

I pay one 2nd rounder at the most for Peppers
