Saints release Aldrick Rosas, agree to terms with Cody Parkey

With Will Lutz still on injured reserve, the Saints are swapping kickers.

New Orleans released Aldrick Rosas on Tuesday after the kicker missed another field goal in the team’s loss to the Giants on Sunday. Rosas previously missed a pair of field goals in the Saints victory over New England in Week Three.

With Rosas out, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that New Orleans has agreed to terms with Cody Parkey. He was most recently with the Browns who released him off injured reserve in August. In his second stint with Cleveland in 2020, Parkey was 19-for-22 on field goals and 43-for-47 on extra points. He also sent 56 percent of his kickoffs for touchbacks.

Parkey has made 85 percent of his career field goals and 94 percent of his extra points.

Lutz is eligible to return from IR at any time after missing three games due to core muscle surgery.

Not surprised the move was made, but how many really good kickers are out there without a team?

Parkey is a better option. Of course...I'm probably a better option at this point. Lol

Important to get our kicker right, because Lutz's status still seems kind of iffy - at least looking from the outside.

I guess when kickers start costing you games, you make moves.

This should have been done weeks ago.

What is the big deal about Verity? He made some kicks in a preseason game against the Saints so now he's some sort of kicking machine? If he was really as great as some around here think why hasn't any of the other 31 teams snatched him off of the practice squad?

Well?

Same reason we snatched up Will Lutz from the Ravens a few years ago. He's consistent, young, and accurate. If the Ravens still have you on their squad as a kicker, you must be legit. They just so happen to have a legend, J Tucker, in front of him.

Low-risk, high reward on Verity ... Unless you believe our offense is so good that we can't use his services

Lutz had a groin injury & those can & will linger.

How do you know he is consistent? He's never attempted a regular season kick in the NFL. I'll give you young. Accurate? Maybe. No way to know for sure until he actually kicks for real.
