The Baltimore Ravens are expected to release former Pro Bowl cornerback Samari Rolle in the next few days, the player’s agent said Friday.   Continue reading on NFL.com

The Baltimore Ravens have already been spending quite freely this offseason, w/ many new contracts including a new one for linebacker Ray Lewis, a mainstay of the Ravens defense since the late 90’s.  The move to dump Samari Rolle comes shortly after the player requested to be released by the team – surprising, considering the Ravens could compete for the AFC Championship next year w/ an improved offense and steady defense.

Still, times are tough big name players are being dropped from their respective teams left & right – see Jason Taylor, Marvin Harrison, Derrick Brooks, Brian Dawkins and Torry Holt.  Others are renegotiating their deals in an effort not to get released – see LaDainian Tomlinson in San Diego.

I would love for my home team, the Arizona Cardinals, to pick-up Rolle to bolster their defense further.  That his highly unlikely, however, considering they can’t even sign wide receiver Anquan Boldin to an extension.
