Antrel Rolle and the team have talked contract, but this close to Rolles magic date hes due that giant $4 million roster bonus next week I expect him to be released into the open market. What that means is anyones guess. The Cardinals believe Rolle would like to come back, but again, its all relative when it comes to dollars. Could the Dolphins and Miami is home for Rolle come calling for big bucks given their issues with current free safety Gibril Wilson? Might the Giants, who had all kinds of secondary issues, choose to siphon away the guy who sealed their fate this past season? Someone else?

One of the other problems in the Rolle situation: When youre talking numbers with a guy, I dont see how the Cards can want to jump him over the deal Adrian Wilson just signed last season (I wouldnt think Adrian would be all that excited about that either). Does that automatically set a ceiling for Rolle?

James Walker of ESPN.com reports the clock is ticking on the contract negotiations between the Pittsburgh Steelers and starting safety Ryan Clark.

Despite both sides trying to reach a middle ground, talks have been challenging as the free-agent deadline approaches Friday.

"I thought it would be a piece of cake," Clark's agent Joel Turner said. "All things now considered, it's hard to feel that way."

"It's not a situation with us where we've ever made any demands of any type that would be outrageous," Turner said. "We wouldn't ask for anything that would be considered greedy. We've not done anything that would be pretentious. We just want to be paid a fair wage for services not only rendered, but still to be."
In an interview with ESPN radio 1250 in Pittsburgh Monday, Clark reiterated Turner's statements.
"I wouldn't do that," Clark said of making high demands. "I know how much [Steelers safety] Troy [Polamalu] makes, and I know how much respect I have for Troy as a player and how much I love him as a friend. I don't see myself as Troy. I don't see myself having to get that same type of pay ... I would be a fool to do that."
