Experience beat out upside in the New England Patriots’ kicker competition.
The Patriots waived fifth-round draft pick Justin Rohrwasser on Saturday during their final round of roster cuts, according to a report from Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal.
Rohrwasser’s release indicated Nick Folk had secured a spot on the 53-man roster.
Folk was New England’s primary kicker for the second half of the 2019 season. He converted 82.4 percent of his field-goal attempts (14 of 17) and 100 percent of his extra points (12 of 12) after taking over for an ineffective Mike Nugent (who’d replaced an injured Stephen Gostkowski).
