Patriots' John Parker Romo: Joined by rookie in kicker room
Rotowire
Romo will face competition from rookie sixth-round pick Andres Borregales during training camp and the preseason, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com reports.
Any time a team uses a draft pick on a kicker, the draftee typically becomes the favorite to win the job out of training camp. Romo played four games with the Vikings last year and hit 11 of 12 field goals, including five of six tries from beyond 40 yards. However, Borregales was automatic in college and showed range with multiple boots from beyond 50 yards.

Patriots' John Parker Romo: Only kicker left in New England
Rotowire
Romo became the last remaining kicker on the Patriots' roster once Joey Slye signed with the Titans on Monday, Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports.
The Patriots are likely to add another kicker as the offseason progresses, per Daniels. Romo signed to the Patriots' practice squad in December after replacing the injured Will Reichard for four games with the Vikings, during which he made 11 of 12 field goals and seven of eight extra-point tries. Romo also signed a reserve/future contract with New England in January, so he should have a chance to compete for at least the starting kicking job in training camp.

Patriots' John Parker Romo: Signs with New England
Rotowire
The Patriots signed Romo to a reserve/future contract Monday.
New England signed Romo to its practice squad Dec. 10, and it appears he'll remain with the Patriots after inking a new deal Monday. The 27-year-old filled in for the injured Will Reichard for four games in Minnesota this season, converting on 11 of his 12 field-goal attempts and seven of his eight extra-point tries. Current Pats' kicker Joey Slye made just 79 percent (26 of 33) of his field-goal attempts this season, so Romo could be competing for the team's starting spot in the offseason.

John Parker Romo: Signs with Pats' practice squad
Rotowire
New England signed Romo to its practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Regular starter Joey Slye has missed three field goals in the Patriots' last two games, so it makes some sense they're exploring their options at kicker. With that said, it's still not fully clear whether Romo is meant to replace Slye right away or if the signing is more a contingency plan.

Vikings' John Parker Romo: Converts three field goals in win
Rotowire
Romo went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries while making both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals.
Romo converted from 44 yards, 55 yards and 31 yards in the victory, with his lone miss coming in the third quarter on a 43-yard try. The kicker has now made 11 out of 12 field-goal attempts since taking over as the team's kicker in Week 10 against the Jaguars. With Will Reichard (quadricep) eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 14, it's unclear if Romo will remain on the active roster for at least one more game.

Vikings' John Parker Romo: Makes game winner Sunday
Rotowire
Romo made all of his three field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 overtime win at Chicago.
Though it was from just 29 yards out, shorter than an extra point, Romo's overtime field goal made him the hero of the day for the Vikings. He hasn't missed any field goals during his first three NFL games and will look to keep up the momentum in Week 13 versus the Cardinals.

Vikings' John Parker Romo: Kicker to Start
Rotowire
Romo did well in his first game for the Vikings in Week 10 at Jacksonville in place of the injured Will Reichard (quadriceps). Romo made all four of his field goals in helping the Vikings to a 12-7 victory, and he is worth starting in all leagues in Week 11 at Tennessee. The Titans have allowed four kickers to score at least 10 Fantasy points this season, and Reichard and Romo now have five games this season with at least 10 Fantasy points, which shows the Minnesota kicker is a valuable commodity.

Vikings' John Parker Romo: Filling in for injured Reichard
Rotowire
The Vikings will sign Romo to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
A third-year pro out of Virginia Tech, Romo will get the chance to make his NFL regular-season debut beginning with this Sunday's game against the Jaguars as a replacement at kicker for Will Reichard (quadricep). Romo had previously been with the Vikings during the offseason, but he was cut in late July once Minnesota had firmly committed to Reichard as its kicker. Though he has yet to appear at the NFL level, Romo kicked professionally in the XFL for the San Antonio Brahmas back in 2023, when he converted 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including a long of 57 yards.

Vikings' John Parker Romo: Signs with kicker-less Vikings

Romo signed a contract with the Vikings on Wednesday.
Romo excelled in the XFL in 2023, making 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including nine of 10 from beyond 40 yards. He has yet to play in a regular-season NFL game, but Romo currently occupies the top spot on Minnesota's organizational depth chart, as 2023 Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a free agent.

Lions' John Parker Romo: Signs with Detroit
Rotowire
Romo agreed to a contract with the Lions on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Romo signed with the Saints last year as an undrafted free agent, but he was let go ahead of the 2022 campaign. The Virginia Tech product impressed enough during a recent stint with the XFL's San Antonio Brahmas to earn an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Lions' Week 1 roster. He'll face an uphill battle to unseat Michael Badgley as Detroit's top placekicker.

Saints' John Parker Romo: Back with Saints
Rotowire
New Orleans re-signed Romo on Friday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The Saints had waived Romo just five days prior to signing him again. It's unlikely he'll push Wil Lutz for the role of starting placekicker, but Romo could perhaps earn a spot on the practice squad if he boots the ball well during practice.
