Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas signs restricted free agent tender

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas officially signed his restricted free agent tender on Wednesday.

Kicker Aldrick Rosas officially signed his restricted free agent tender on Wednesday, which comes nearly a month after the New York Giants made a qualifying offer (second-round tender) on March 16.

Rosas was free to negotiate with other teams during that time, but did not generate much interest given the tender. Had a team signed him to an offer sheet, the Giants would have had the rights of first refusal and would have received a second-round pick from the signing team if they declined to match the offer.

Rosas entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Southern Oregon, originally signing with the Tennessee Titans in 2016 before landing with the Giants in 2017.

In 48 regular season games, Rosas has made 62 of his 75 field goal attempts (82.7 percent) and 86 of his 94 point after attempts.

In 2018, Rosas had one of the best seasons by a kicker in Giants history, connecting on 32 of his 33 field goal attempts and 31 of his 32 point after attempts en route to the Pro Bowl and being named a Second Team All-Pro.

However, things took a turn for the worst in 2019 as Rosas struggled, hitting just 12 of his 17 field goal attempts and 35 of his 39 point after attempts.
