Rolle kept his hot streak going by intercepting Titans backup quarterback Jake Locker's only pass attempt in Week 13. After the game, Rolle admitted he wasn't sure he would ever play defense for Houston, due to the fact he was signed for special teams. His start at nickel cornerback did not prove to be too big a task for Rolle, as he had 3 interceptions and 4 pass break-ups despite playing in only 6 games at that point in the 2014 season. [7] On November 19, 2015, Rolle was waived by the Texans. [8]

On January 31, 2020, Rolle and the Ti-Cats agreed to a two-year contract extension, preventing him from becoming a free agent in February. [18] The 2020 season was ultimately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
