Published:
Former Minnesota kicker Ryan Santoso appears to be a hot commodity around the NFL.
Sunday morning, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported that Santoso is drawing “significant trade interest” from around the league. The current kicker for the New York Giants could be a starter on multiple teams and the organization has already received numerous phone calls about a potential move.
Santoso is currently behind Graham Gano in New York, but Rapoport says the ex-Gopher has “shown himself to be starter caliber.”
One player already drawing significant trade interest from around the league: #Giants K Ryan Santoso. Teams have been calling and he could be dealt as the season gets closer. His path is blocked by Graham Gano in NYG, but he’s shown himself to be starter caliber.

Santoso will be entering his fourth year in the professional ranks. He started his career with the Detroit Lions and had a stop with the Tennessee Titans before finding a new home with the Giants. He also spent time with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League.
In the preseason, Santoso has kicked just 1 extra point. The Giants have played just 1 game with the second coming Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
