Shit, Rolle must be really hurt.

It also says a lot that they didn't ask him back (though it should come as no surprise to anyone).

I think he was signed by the Vikings. But I think he is only on their practice squad.

let's just move fuller to S and be done with it already :beartroll:

 

[Brownie]

Can he return kicks?

Martin was drafted by the Panthers in 2009 while John Fox was head coach. He was seen to be a better fit at corner.

The good news from that article: 4.38 40 is pretty fast for a safety. Heck it's pretty fast for a corner.
The bad news: Jerry Angelo wanted him :-(.
