Report: Saints to sign kicker Aldrick Rosas

The search for a healthy replacement kicker for the Saints has led to Aldrick Rosas.

The former Giants kicker between 2017 and 2019 will be signed by the team, reports Tom Pelissero of NFL.com.

The #Saints are signing kicker Aldrick Rosas, per source. As @nick_underhill noted, Rosas had a strong workout and New Orleans needed a solution with Wil Lutz sidelined.

Rosas earned a Pro-Bowl berth in 2018 but ended up kicking last season for Jacksonville. He served a four-game NFL suspension related to a hit-and-run accident.

The Saints also tried out Alex Kessman and Dominik Eberle before choosing Rosas, who replaces Brett Maher as the substitute for Wil Lutz.
