Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that Antrel Rolle wanted out of New York as recently as Week 15 of the regular season. "He kept telling us he wanted out," Giants safeties coach David Merritt said. Merritt kept the encouraging text messages he sent to Rolle at the time and they can be viewed in Garafolo's article. "Merritt has helped me a lot," Rolle said. "We've had a lot of 1-on-1 personal conversations, not anything about football, but about life in general. And he's also a huge reason why I was able to buy into playing my role as a nickel [cornerback]. I was extremely frustrated after the Washington game."
