The New York Giants are still waiting on Aldrick Rosas’ arraignment:
The New York Giants have dealt with multiple legal issues regarding players this off-season, including DeAndre baker and now Aldrick Rosas. This was not the positive start new head coach Joe Judge anticipated with his new team, but the reality of a virtual relationship can often be tumultuous. Not having an in-person influence and disciplinary set of rules hurts, but I imagine the Giants will become harsher with their in-house punishments after the latest developments.
Baker is still awaiting the results of his legal processing, who his lawyer claims his innocent and exonerated from the armed robbery he was supposedly involved in. Witnesses have since recanted their comments, and the case against Baker seems to be dwindling.
As for Rosas, the Giants are still awaiting more information, but his wrongdoings are quite clear. Rosas was driving under the influence early in the morning on Monday last week when he struck a vehicle going 100 MPH through a red light.
Rosas was found near the accident bloodied and bruised, and according to NJ.com, “the Giants have been in contact with the authorities about Rosas’ alleged incident and are gathering all available information before making any decision.â€
At 25 years old, Rosas reportedly had a DUI already on his record, which came before the start of his NFL career in 2016.
Rosas signed a $3.26 million deal as a restricted free agent in April; the Giants will now be scouring the free-agent market for a possible replacement.
One alternative could be Stephen Gostkowski, who has experience with head coach Joe Judge when they were with the New England Patriots. Gostkowski has been one of the more productive kickers in the NFL the past decade, and while he struggled due to injury in 2019, kickers across the league have seen inconsistent production and efficiency. An established veteran with experience would fit the bill perfectly for the Giants if Rosas succumbs to serious charges.
