Kaare Vedvik’s debut with the New York Jets on Sunday was disastrous, complete with two missed kicks in a 17-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Now he’s out of a job.
The Jets waived Vedvik and signed Sam Ficken to replace him after auditioning five kickers Tuesday morning. The Jets announced the decision Tuesday afternoon.
Ficken’s limited NFL experience
Ficken’s only NFL experience is filling in for injured Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein in 2017 and 2018. He hit 3-of-6 field goal attempts and 14-of-15 extra point attempts over four games.
