The Patriots entered Tuesday with three kickers on their list.
Now, they have only two.
New England dismissed Justin Rohrwasser, according to the bank transfer. A fifth-round pick in the 2020 draft, Rohrwasser gained notoriety for his tattoo of the logo of the far-right militia group, Three Percenters. The tattoo has already been removed.
Rohrwasser did not appear in the game as a novice. He was first discharged from the final cut list and then was hired by the training team, where he remained for the entire season. He signed a futures contract in early January.
The Patriots agreed to sign again with Nick Folk at the end of last week for a one-year contract and also made the ex-Buccaneers in the second round choose Roberto Aguayo for the lineup. Folk was New England’s top kicker in 2020, hitting 26 out of 28 pitches and 30 out of 33 extra points.
New England also dismissed linebackers Cassh Maluia and Michael Pinckney at Tuesady. Maluia was chosen in the sixth round last year, and Pinckney joined the league in 2020 as an uncontracted free agent.
