Antrel RolleAntrel Rolle has finally come into his own ... yet the Arizona Cardinals might let him walk away.
The Cards may cut the eighth overall pick of the 2005 draft unless they are able to sign him to an extension and avoid paying a $4 million roster bonus by next week, according to the team's website.
Rolle is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance. He found his niche after switching from cornerback to free safety last season. If he is cut loose, speculation is already building that he could return to Miami, where he starred as a member of the Hurricanes in college, and plug a hole in the Dolphins' secondary.
Fellow Pro Bowl S Adrian Wilson received a 5-year, $39 million extension from the Cardinals last June. Now the team is also facing contractual issues with LB Karlos Dansby, set to hit the open market, as well as WR Anquan Boldin and DL Darnell Dockett, both seeking heftier paychecks.
