Dropped by Minnesota
The Vikings waived Romo on Monday.
ANALYSIS
It was an uphill battle for Romo to make Minnesota's 53-man roster, as he was competing with Will Reichard, the NCAA's all-time leader in points, for the team's placekicker duties. Romo has yet to kick in an NFL game, and he'll now look elsewhere for the opportunity to do so.

In Year 3 of the Dan Campbell era, the Lions will be striving for a rare division title, powered by a strong offensive line and the continued connection between Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Following Sean Payton's retirement, the Saints may not experience much change in philosophy, considering the offensive coordinator is a holdover and the impending returns of Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Romo made 17 of 19 field-goal attempts in the XFL in 2023, earning a roster spot with the Lions heading into training camp. The team released Michael Badgley in July, leaving Romo and Riley Patterson to compete for the kicker job (with Patterson seemingly the favorite given his solid track record in the NFL).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Big leg, but lacking consistency
Romo is running behind Will Reichard in Minnesota's kicker competition, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Romo has the stronger leg of the two kickers, but he has been far less consistent in OTAs and minicamp. Reichard, whom Minnesota selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has the upper hand heading into training camp, though Romo could still close the gap by showcasing improved accuracy in training camp and the preseason. Neither kicker has attempted a kick in an NFL game.
