7) Antrel Rolle

Years: 2010-2014

Legacy: Super Bowl Champion (XLVI); Three-time Pro Bowl (2009, 2010, 2013)

The NY Giants made Antrel Rolle the highest-paid safety in league history when they signed him in 2010 – and it was still a bargain.

Rolle’s leadership was essential to the team’s success throughout his tenure – including a Super Bowl victory. He never missed a game throughout his five years in New York – starting all 16 games every single year.

Reliable, intelligent, fiery and calculated – Rolle was one of the most important players on the Giants in his tenure, and arguably the best free agent signing in team history.
