New Orleans Saints

He was claimed via waivers by New Orleans Saints on August 27, 2013. On August 31, 2013, he was waived by the Saints. On September 1, 2013, he cleared waivers and was signed to the Saints' practice squad.

Houston Texans

On October 1, 2014, the Houston Texans signed Rolle off the Green Bay Packers' practice squad. He got his first and second interceptions on November 2, 2014 vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. Rolle kept his hot streak going by intercepting Titans backup quarterback Jake Locker's only pass attempt in Week 13. After the game, Rolle admitted he wasn't sure he would ever play defense for Houston, due to the fact he was signed for special teams. His start at nickel cornerback did not prove to be too big a task for Rolle, as he had 3 interceptions and 4 pass break-ups despite playing in only 6 games at that point in the 2014 season.[7] On November 19, 2015, Rolle was waived by the Texans.[8]
