Aldrick Rosas has gone from kicking off for the New York Giants to being kicked off Big Blue following his arrest for an alleged hit-and-run in June.
Rosas had received a second-round tender from the team but that was before his arrest in California.
Rosas was driving a black Chevrolet SUV when a T-bone collision occurred. Witnesses saw Rosas driving erratically over the double yellow lines and at a speed estimated to be 100 mph when he ran a red light and hit a Ford pickup truck.
Rosas, 25, attempted to drive away from the scene of the crash before his vehicle became disabled. He exited and fled the scene on foot without shoes, according to the police report.
To replace the former Pro Bowler, New York is signing former Jets kicker Chandler Catanzaro, according to ESPN, after cutting Rosas following his arrest for an alleged hit-and-run in June.
Catanzaro retired after missing two extra points in the preseason opener against the Giants in 2019. In 2017, Catanzaro made 25-of-30 field-goal attempts. He spent 2018 with the Panthers and Buccaneers before being brought back to the Jets to replace departed Pro Bowler Jason Myers. Catanzaro spent his first three NFL seasons with the Cardinals.
