11:37 a.m. -- Rolle-to-Giants would be good fit
Cardinals defensive back Antrel Rolle reportedly will visit the Giants today. It's a perfect fit on paper -- provided the Giants can jump-start their pass rush.
Rolle, a former first-round pick who broke into the league as a cornerback, is a very good cover safety and has a reputation for making plays when he gets his hands on the ball. His visit to New York is a clear indication the Giants have concerns about whether standout safety Kenny Phillips will return to form -- or return at all -- from 2009 knee surgery. With Phillips out and the pass rush inconsistent last season, the Giants struggled to stop teams through the air. Michael Johnson, Aaron Rouse and C.C. Brown all failed to distinguish themselves, which created more of a need for a player such as Rolle.
Arizona is hopeful of re-signing Rolle, whom they released because they didn't want to pay him $12 million in bonus and salary this season, but the chances of that happening appear remote. Miami, Rolle's hometown team, also is said to have an interest in him.
