By so far, being released by the Arizona Cardinals has not been a bad thing for safety Antrel Rolle, who is now a hot target of many other teams on the free-agent market. According to reports, he is now having at least four choices for the 2010 season.
The New York Daily News reported that the suitors for Rolle now include at least the New York Giants, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears and the Cardinals, yeah, the Cardinals are actually hoping that Rolle would wear back his No. 21 Cardinals jersey after being released for financial reason.
According to reports, the Dolphins have offered a five-year contract as the Giants did but for less money. And the Cardinals’ offer of six-year deal worth $32.6 million was refused by Rolle, causing a lot to guess if there is any possibility of Rolle’s return to Arizona. After all, he is now a free agent with the freedom to choose which team to join.
Rolle was drafted by the Cardinals as the No. 6 overall pick in 2005. Spending all of the past five seasons with only the Cardinals, Rolle had 72 tackles and four interceptions last season and has said that he wants to make $8 million annually.

Cardinals coach praised QB Leinart’s performance in opener
After Thursday night’s 20-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Arizona Cardinals Coach Ken Whisenhunt said at a news conference Friday that he liked quarterback Matt Leinart’s performance at the preseason opener.
“He really made a couple of big-time throws,” Whisenhunt said. “That was nice to see, especially on the perimeter where he’s thrown them over guys, fitting them in a window. He was very comfortable in the pocket, very comfortable in the huddle.”
Whisenhunt had given Leinart extra pressure before the opener by saying that Brian St. Pierre has a chance to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Kurt Warner, and Leinart still managed to impress him by improving in stride and performing well in the game.

Rookie Redman help Steelers beat Cardinals 20-10
In the preseason opener the Pittsburgh Steelers played against the Arizona Cardinals, undrafted rookie Isaac Redman made good performance after the starters for both Super Bowl teams left the field and helped the Steelers win over the Cardinals.
It was rookie Joe Burnett who scored the first touchdown by intercepting a pass by third-teamer Brian St. Pierre. He then returned it to the Arizona 3 before the third quarter ended. Redman scored the second. Seven minutes after Steelers No. 3 quarterback Dennis Dixon started an 80-yard drive, Redman scored on a 5-yard run.
Steelers Ben Roethlisberger and Cardinals Kurt Warner each played two series and neither produced a point. Warner completed six of 10 passes for 53 yards for Arizona, and Roethlisberger completed four of six for 33 yards for Pittsburgh. And Cardinals’ only touchdown was scored by fourth-string quarterback Tyler Palko, who made a 20-yard pass to Onrea Jones.
