Another safety is off the market, as Antrel Rolle will be joining the Bears, according to ProFootballTalk (on Twitter). The deal will be for three years and $11.25MM, with $5MM guaranteed.
The 32-year-old finished the 2014 season with 87 tackles and three interceptions. Pro Football Focus wasn’t impressed with the veteran’s performance, as they ranked him 81st among 87 safety candidates. However, Rolle isn’t far removed from a dynamic 2013 campaign, when he established career-highs in tackles (98), interceptions (six) and passes defended (12).
We learned earlier today that the Bears had the highest offer on the table, with the Colts and Giants lurking. Rolle ranked 46th in Luke Adams’ list of the top-50 free agents.
