Rolle becomes one of the better players in the free agent market upon his release, but it's critical that people don't think of him as a pro bowler. He doesn't consistently perform at a pro bowl level at safety, and especially not at corner. With that said, league average performance has a lot of value, and Rolle could be a valuable pickup.

The problem is that I don't think a Rolle-Landry tandem fixes anything. Landry needs to develop into a very good free safety (or just 'safety' who doesn't line up in the box 80% of the time), or he needs to hit the road. Strong safety can be an intermediate step to that getting cut part, but putting Landry at strong safety is the opposite of a career saver. Develop or get the crap out.
