The New York Giants may be on the lookout for another kicker this offseason, but they’re also not giving up on Aldrick Rosas, who was a Second Team All-Pro just two seasons ago.
Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports that the Giants will place a second-round tender on Rosas, who is scheduled to become a restricted free agent on Wednesday.
NEW: #Giants are placing 2nd round tender on restricted free agent K Aldrick Rosas, source says. That’s a $3.2M salary in 2020 for Pro Bowler.

Rosas could still sign elsewhere, but with the tender in place the Giants would be given an opportunity to match any offer made and if they declined, would be awarded a second-round pick from the signing team.
The Giants could have gone with a lower/cheaper tender on Rosas, but it would have eliminated any potential compensation had he signed elsewhere.
An undrafted free agent out of Southern Oregon, Rosas spent a portion of the 2016 season in Tennessee before signing with the Giants in 2017.
In 48 career games, Rosas has made 82.7% of his field goals and 91.5% of his point after attempts.
