On the eve of the opening of free agency, and with no deal yet agreed to, free-agent safety Antrel Rolle did what a lot of players in his position likely did before going to sleep Sunday night.

Notice the timing on the post? Late Wednesday night.

Then Rolle confirmed on that trusty Instagram account.
Divine intervention? Proof that Orbitz and Instagram are a more powerful duo than Mother Nature and Father Time? A clever social media troll on all of us?
We may never know, but this much is certain. Here are Rolle's past five seasons as a New York Giant at a glance:
• Started 84 of a possible 84 games (including playoffs)
• Two Pro Bowls
• Fourteen interceptions, five fumble recoveries
• One Super Bowl championship
And with that new contract, Rolle can afford to travel even if he misses the next Orbitz premonition, er ... promotion.
