Well, we thought things would die down a bit after the news about Karlos Dansby signing with Miami, but apparently New York had other ideas in mind.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Giants have signed safety Antrel Rolle to a five year contract for $37 million, with $15 million guaranteed. That’s officially the highest salary ever given to a safety in the NFL, and definitely blew everyone else out of the water.

Have to hand it to the G-Men… they watched their secondary struggle through last season and instead of waiting around for the draft to find a potential answer to their problems, they went out and got the best player on the market, albeit at a crazy price. At any rate, New York should be much better against the pass next season with Rolle patrolling the middle of the field, so hats off to the Giants for making it happen.
