Conventional wisdom says that the Cardinals will make a strong push to keep safety Antrel Rolle, but they don’t want to give him equal money to teammate Adrian Wilson.
Well, something has to give because Rolle wants Wilson money. More, actually. Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune writes that Rolle is expecting a deal that averages $8 million-per-season.
That’s more than Wilson, Troy Polamalu, and Ed Reed earn on average.
Rolle clearly isn’t in the same class as those players. It will say a lot about the uncapped year and odd inequities of NFL free agency if Rolle gets the money he wants.
