Football players from the Atlanta Falcons tackle on a green field; a defender in black jersey reaches down toward the ball while another player falls to the ground with the football nearby, with a blurred crowd in the stands behind them.

Without an established kicker on their roster, the Jets are taking another swing by adding former pro bowl kicker Youngho Koo who last kicked for the Giants.

BREAKING: The #Jets are signing K Younghoe Koo, sources tell @SNYtv.

Koo spent seven years with the #Falcons where he was a Pro Bowler in 2020. Last year kicked for both Atlanta and the #Giants.

Also a former Falcon, Koo made the pro bowl in 2020 when he went 37-39 on field goals with a long of 54 yards. His career best was a 58-yarder back in 2024 with the Falcons. For his career, Koo has connected on 85.3% of his field goal attempts and 186 of 194 on extra points. He’ll be competing with Cade York and Lenny Kreig.
