• Aldrick Rosas: Let go with injury settlement

  09/20/2022 • By RotoWire

  The Lions cut Rosas (undisclosed) from their practice squad injured list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports. Rosas signed with Detroit's practice squad last November, but he was later released by the team in May after failing to make an in-game appearance. The 27-year-old kicker got another chance with the Lions after the team signed him back to the practice squad in September, but he was placed on the injured list with an undisclosed issue just eight days later. He'll now be free to sign and play elsewhere, given he can display optimal health.

  Detroit signed Rosas to the practice squad Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Rosas was cut by the Lions on Tuesday after losing the offseason kicker competition, but he will remain around as an emergency option. He made just one of four field-goal tries in four games with the Saints last year.

• Aldrick Rosas: Cut by Detroit

  05/31/2022 • By RotoWire

  Rosas was cut by the Lions on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Rosas had a shot to be the starting kicker in Detroit for the upcoming season, but it looks like the competition for that position is now exclusively between Austin Seibert and Riley Patterson. Detroit stands to save nearly $1 million by letting Seibert walk, and the 22-year-old Patterson connected on 13 of 14 attempts in his first year of NFL action in 2021, so the latter should be considered the favorite. Rosas, meanwhile, will try to get another opportunity elsewhere.

• Aldrick Rosas: Reups with Lions

  02/08/2022 • By RotoWire

  Rosas signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Once Austin Seibert (hip) was shelved midway through last season, Detroit replaced him with Riley Patterson and Rosas, who got the start in Seibert's first absence but ended up watching Patterson take over kicking duties for the final seven games of the year. However, with special teams coordinator Dave Fipp noncommittal about the status of the position entering 2022, it seems like all three kickers could have a chance to win the starting job this offseason. Whereas Rosas and Patterson are on cheap deals, Detroit could save almost $1 million against the cap by letting Seibert walk.
