NFL insider Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Jets are retaining kicker Greg Zuerlein who was due to hit free agency in just a few hours. Zuerlein originally signed with the Jets back in March of 2022.

The #Jets and K Greg Zuerlein have reached an agreement on a 2-year deal for $8.4M, per me and @TomPelissero. A nice pay raise for the kicker.

After turning in one of the best seasons Gang Green has ever had from a kicker, Zuerlein is rewarded with a 2-year $8.4 million contract. The kicker connected on 35 of 38 field goal attempts, including 5-6 from 50 yards or more. Zuerlein was also 15 out of 16 on extra points.

His 60-yard field goal against the Vikings in 2022 set a team record.
