Samari Rolle Not Expected To Play Again

[VA_Fan]

Found this little story today. I know Samari said this a while back but I didn't hear Harb's take on it.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Baltimore Ravens don't expect veteran cornerback Samari Rolle to play football again.

Rolle has undergone a couple of neck surgeries and has said he is extremely unlikely to continue to play, but hasn't officially retired.

"There’s been no indication that I’ve heard from anybody that Samari is going to be physically ready to play," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "If that changes, great. We would have to be very convinced that he would have no risk.”

Earlier this year, Rolle indicated that he was essentially hanging up his cleats, barring some kind of medical breakthrough.

"I've had two neck surgeries," Rolle said. "And at my age, unless they show me something scientifically that says I can't hurt myself again, then I'm done."

It was a pleasure to watch Samari play. I didn't realize how good he was until 2008.

i love that guy. he did great things for us. but i think it is time for him to start life after football. he should take care of his health.

thank you samari for those great years. wish u the best in the future!!!

Thank-you Samari for the past couple years work.
but we seriously need to move onward anyway.
Walker gone, Samari gone, & PLEASE no C-Mac garbage this year guys. lol

We need a revamp on our db's.

Rolle made a great contribution to the Ravens. he'll be missed but his health is more important. peace Samari and thanks for the memories.

I love what he did for us, but how is this news? I don't think anyone was expecting him to come back.

I've seen people post on this forum thinking he would be back.

Loved Samari, gave a lot to this team. Good luck to him in the future.

[ravens__]

I certainly didn't expect him to be back but he was a fighter since day one.
Best of luck to him in the future.

Rolle will always stick in my mind for that one season he missed games to an "undisclosed (non-physical) injury." It was fun trying to figure out what the undisclosed injury was.

My guess was a lot worse than what it was.

[The Flock]

I loved seeing you play, and i'm going to miss you. You had a great career. Good luck in the future.

[Purple Punishment]

he certainly was a valuable asset for us in the past years. hats off to him for sticking around and having hope for the past two seasons. you will be missed Samari

I didn't realize how good he really was until 2009 when we missed him so much.

Yep. The team certainly could have used him at times during the season.

[baltravens]

Thanks, Rolle.
I loved it when you and McAlister were our corners.

yay! no big loss there. Maybe if he was in his prime like 99' or the early 00's, but now who cares.

[Shammy]

i wish he could come back for one more season

It may not be a huge deal because he hasn't suited up in over a year but considering how much he did for this team, I'd say a lot of people care.

Horrible post bud!!

[baltravens]

Believe it or not, I felt so secure on defense when S. Rolle and C. McAlister were OUR CORNERS. Maybe even more than McAlister and Starks.
Samari was the man.

Classy post. The guy is a former Pro Bowler, who could STILL be playing and still be a darn good CB for the Ravens. He had is career shortened because of injuries. You would be the only one who doesn't care btw. Ahole

[theblackdog]

Sorry to hear he has to go for this reason. He will be missed because I always enjoyed when he was on the field.
