Alexis is going into his third season with us and we have seen great progression in the past two years. He's a great guy to have around our locker room and a very solid kicker in this league. I look forward to even better things from him as we move forward."

The organization has been great to me and this was a very easy decision. I enjoy the city, the fans are great and the club is very good to me. I'm thrilled to get this deal done," Serna said.
