Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was arrested after an alleged hit-and-run in California (via TMZ). Cops say that Rosas was going 100 mph when he t-boned another car early Monday morning and they believe that he may have been intoxicated. 
Per the police report, Rosas was driving erratically before he blew through a red light. That’s when cops say he smashed into the side of a pickup truck and continued driving, instead of stopping. Moments later, when his SUV broke down, witnesses say Rosas took off running. When police arrived on the scene, they found Rosas walking nearby with his legs and bare feet covered in blood.
Unfortunately, this is not Rosas’ first run-in with the law. Court records show that in February 2016, roughly two months before the 2016 draft, he was arrested in California and charged with DUI and having a BAC of over 0.8% (via Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com). The DUI charge was ultimately dismissed, but Rosas pled guilty to the BAC charge and received 30 months of probation. According to Rosenblatt’s NJ.com colleague, Matt Lombardo, the Giants were aware of that incident prior to signing Rosas in 2017. He has been the team’s kicker ever since.
Since joining the Giants, Rosas has made 62 of his 75 field goal tries. In 2018, he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl, making him just one of four kickers in Giants franchise history to secure the honors. There have been some bumps along the way, however, including four missed PATs last year.
After 48 straight games with the team, the Giants used a second-round tender to bring Rosas back for 2020. He’s currently set to earn $3.26MM this season, but if he stays on the roster, there will surely be league discipline coming his way. He may be the only kicker on the roster for now, but expect that to change soon.
lmao
what’s so funny? a guy committed a crime that could have killed someone and your laughing at it? what if you were the one who was hit? still laughing?
You’re
Lowest form of internet beings are ones who correct spelling and grammar …it offers nothing to the discussion. It’s just a way for the writer to feel important in his or her otherwise dull and unfulfilling life
But think of the joy he is getting being able to yell up from the basement “ mom I found one…yeah!!!”
I can think of lower. Besides, we all can learn something every day.
Most of the time it’s an autocorrect issue or just a matter of typing too fast. No lesson learned.
Scumbag
Exactly what I came here to call him.
I’ll third that emotion. He’s lucky he didn’t kill someone, or himself.
I don’t see him getting $3 MM/year going forward; real knucklehead move.
He obviously deserves and needs to get due process. That said, if it IS found that he was intoxicated, driving 100 mph, and left the scene of an accident, I hope he gets the same severity of punishment that a non-athlete would receive.
He’s wealthy. He’ll pay his way out of any punishment.
Orange jumpsuit. Guaranteed on this one. Car is a legal weapon.
*lethal
Sorry Rexwood…I’ll be surprised if he serves any time
Well said.
“blew threw”
do you mean blew through?
Solid catch. Zach was wide left on that one…
Last time I blew threw I’m pretty sure Goldshlager was involved
Man, that can be a ROUGH morning after…
What’s wrong with these Giants players recently. Normally those type of players are on the Cowboys
Nice deflection attempt.
We’ve discussed this before. The Giants have had more arrests than the Cowboys, particularly in recent years. It’s an easy Google search.
Wow bro white people ruin this great country also. Grow up bro. ALL LIVES MATTER!!! not white lower not black lives matter f@ck all that we are all equal and I’ll say again ALL LIVES MATTER
Power not lower
What’s this world coming to? Now Kickers are out of control? Hahaha
Good question. What does it say about a team when the kicker gets arrested?
I had this vision of Peyton Manning talking about liquored up kickers. Funny!!
Defund the police. He not be arrested.
You should learn what defund police means.
Adam Vinatieri to the rescue.
Exit Rosas. Enter Gostkowski.
Part of me feels like he needs a year in jail. Part of me feels like ‘there but for the grace of God’.
Glad I’m not a kid anymore. I cannot imagine how stupid I’d have been at age 25, with $3M+ in earnings.
Enter racist comment here *
I’m no doctor, but there is NO way he had a blood alcohol level of 0.8%. That’s about double the amount that virtually everyone would die from. Death may occur at .37% or higher. BACs of .45% and higher are fatal to nearly all individuals.
