The Giants signed veteran kicker Mike Nugent, according to a team announcement. Nugent will duke it out with Aldrick Rosas for the team’s kicking job. 
The Giants have been talking up Rosas all offseason, so it’s a bit of a surprise to see them sign a kicker just days into training camp. Rosas has no regular season experience whereas Nugent is a 13-year vet who has appeared in 158 regular season and postseason games. The 35-year-old has the rare distinction of being a kicker who was chosen with a second round pick. Although he was not able to justify his placement in the draft, Nugent has been a reliable leg, by and large.
Nugent, the owner of 22 school records at Ohio State, will now square off with a second-year player for the right to serve as the Giants’ kicker.
This is no surprise.
If Rosas is the real deal he’ll have to prove it. I wasn’t convinced the team would just hand the job to an unproven kicker.
We’ll see what happens.
I guess that Rosas no longer has a “Stranglehold” on the job, or maybe the Giants were getting so restless that they practically had “Cat Scratch Fever”?
… I’ll show myself out.
Well played connfyoozed, well played…
