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.

"I asked God for a sign," he posted on Instagram.

And this, according to that post, is how his prayers were answered:

Notice the timing on the post? Late Wednesday night.

Shortly after the Instagram post, the world received this news:

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.
