Saints sign former Pro Bowl kicker Aldrick Rosas as possible replacement for Wil Lutz

The New Orleans Saints appear to have a replacement at kicker for Wil Lutz.

Lutz is expected to be out around the first four games of the season due to core muscle surgery. The Saints needed a kicker and worked out Aldrick Rosas on Friday. The former New York Giants kicker performed well and got signed.

Rosas, 26, was a Pro Bowler for the Giants in 2018, his second season in the league. He made 32 of 33 field-goal attempts that year. Last season he went 8-of-11 in seven games with the Jags. Two of his misses were from greater than 50 yards.

Rosas was released by the Giants last year in the wake of a hit-and-run. He was suspended four games for the incident.

The Saints were previously planning to roll with Brett Maher at kicker, but he was waived during the week with an injury designation.
