Arizona Cardinals

2005

The Arizona Cardinals selected Rolle in the first round (eighth overall) of the 2005 NFL draft. [5] Rolle was the second cornerback drafted in 2005, behind Adam "Pacman" Jones.

On August 6, 2005, the Arizona Cardinals signed Rolle to a six-year, $43 million contract that includes $7.75 million guaranteed. [6] [7]

Head coach Dennis Green named Rolle a starting cornerback to begin the regular season, alongside David Macklin. [8] He made his professional regular season debut and first career start in the Arizona Cardinals' season-opener at the New York Giants and recorded one tackle in their 42–19 loss. On September 25, 2005, Rolle collected a season-high 11 combined tackles (ten solo) during a 37–12 loss at the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. During the game, Rolle sustained an injury that was believed to be cartilage damage in his left knee and was scheduled to undergo surgery and miss 3–4 weeks. On October 3, 2005, Dr. John Uribe performed arthroscopic surgery on Rolle's knee to ostensibly repair the meniscus cartilage, but discovered ligament damage that was expected to sideline him for the rest of his rookie season. [9] Rolle quickly recovered and returned after missing nine games (Weeks 4–13). [10] On December 11, 2005, Rolle recorded a solo tackle, a pass deflection, and made his first career interception in the Cardinals' 17–13 loss to the Washington Redskins. His interception came off a deflection by tight end Chris Cooley who was unable to secure a pass thrown by quarterback Mark Brunell in the second quarter. [11] The following week, he collected nine solo tackles and broke up a pass during a 30–19 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 15. He aggravated his knee injury during the game and sidelined him for the last two games of the regular season (Weeks 16–17). [12] Rolle completed his rookie season in 2005 with 28 combined tackles (26 solo), a pass deflection, and an interception in five games and four starts. [13]

2006

Defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast retained Rolle and David Macklin as the starting cornerbacks to start the 2006 season. [14] In Week 5, he collected eight solo tackles and a season-high two pass deflections in the Cardinals' 23–20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. [15] On December 17, 2006, Rolle recorded a season-high 11 combined tackles (nine solo) and broke up a pass during a 37–20 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 15. [15] He finished the season with 84 combined tackles (77 solo), ten passes defensed, two forced fumbles, and an interception in 16 games and 16 starts. [13] Rolle had issues in pass coverage and was called for seven pass interference penalties in 2006, tying Baltimore Ravens' cornerback Chris McAlister for the most in the league. [16]

2007

On January 1, 2007, the Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Dennis Green after they completed the 2006 season with a 5–11 record.

On August 18, 2008, Rolle had a disappointing performance and gave up a 39-yard touchdown reception to wide receiver Andre Johnson during a 33–20 loss to the Houston Texans in their second preseason game. [18] Two days later, head coach Ken Whisenhunt announced that Roderick Hood would be replacing Rolle as the starting left cornerback after performing well during the preseason. [19] Head coach Ken Whisenhunt officially announced Rolle as the third cornerback on the depth chart, behind Eric Green and Roderick Hood, to start the regular season. Rolle was also named the first-team nickelback. [20]

He made all three interceptions off passes by quarterback Carson Palmer and returned one for a 54-yard touchdown and another for a 55-yard touchdown. [21] [22] His performance earned him NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. [23] Rolle was promoted to starting cornerback prior to Week 13 and remained in the role after Eric Green was sidelined with an ankle injury for the last five games (Weeks 13–17). [24] On December 30, 2007, Rolle recorded two solo tackles, three pass deflections, two interceptions, and a touchdown during a 48–19 victory against the St. Louis Rams. He had a pick six after intercepting a pass by Marc Bulger and returned in it for a 47-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He finished with 62 combined tackles (52 solo), ten passes defensed, five interceptions, and three touchdowns in 16 games and eight starts.
