We degenerate solutions of the NLS equation from the general formulation in terms of theta functions to get quasi-rational solutions of NLS equations. For this we establish a link between Fredholm determinants and Wronskians. We give solutions of the NLS equation as a quotient of two wronskian determinants. In the limit when some parameter goes to $0$, we recover Akhmediev's solutions given recently It gives a new approach to get the well known rogue waves.
