"It looked like things had moved in Romo's favor after Borregales' weak preseason finale showing, but Mike Vrabel chose to go with the player they drafted in the sixth round earlier this year. The hope is that this won't end up being a mistake, as finding a kicker post Stephen Gostkowski, or even more recently, Nick Folk, has been problematic in New England."
"Because they ensured the drafting of the best kicker in the 2025 class, the assumption going into training camp was that it was Borregales' job and that was that. However, Romo came to compete, making it a trickier decision for the team to make. Their performances throughout the summer were mostly neck and neck, making their preseason showings presumably count more."
New England released Parker Romo and installed rookie Andres Borregales as the team's kicker following training-camp competition. The kicking battle remained close throughout camp and preseason, with Romo showing competitiveness and Borregales missing in the Giants blowout. The coaching staff and new regime favored the drafted sixth-round kicker, and head coach Mike Vrabel awarded him the job. The team may sign Romo to the practice squad as insurance. The front office used draft capital on Borregales because of his draft status. The franchise has struggled finding consistent kickers since Stephen Gostkowski and Nick Folk.
