Jets Re-Sign Nick Folk, Eye Playoff Stability

The New York Jets have re-signed 40-year-old veteran kicker Nick Folk, who previously played for the team from 2010 to 2016 and ranks second in franchise history with 729 points. Folk will compete with rookie Harrison Mevis for the starting kicker job after the team waived Caden Davis. Head coach Aaron Glenn praised Folk’s recent accuracy, noting his 96.2% field goal rate over the past two seasons with the Tennessee Titans. Folk also played for the Cowboys, Buccaneers, and Patriots during his career. His return is part of the Jets' strategy to end a long playoff drought and build a winning mentality, with Glenn emphasizing the value of Folk's leadership and experience. The Jets hope Folk can stabilize a kicker position that has seen frequent turnover.
