Having lost free agent kicker Nick Folk to the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, the Jets have added former Bengal Cade York. The move represents a significant downgrade at place kicker where the Jets had one of the best in the business in Folk.
Gang Green will now go from the most accurate kicker in the NFL, to one who has converted on just 73.3% of his kicks through since entering the league in 2022 as a member of the Cleveland Browns.
Given Folk’s poor performance up to this point, expect Darren Mougey to add a kicker with a late day three pick or as an undrafted free agent.
