Ficken in, Vedvik out as Jets kicker carousel spins

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have changed kickers. Again.

Two days after Kaare Vedvik's disastrous NFL debut, the Jets have signed Sam Ficken, who was cut recently by the Green Bay Packers.

Ficken, who was on the Packers' preseason roster, will be their fourth kicker since the start of training camp.

Vedvik was placed on waivers.

The Jets opted for Ficken after a morning tryout at their facility that consisted of five free-agent kickers. His only regular-season experience came in 2017 and 2018 with the Los Angeles Rams, but it was only four games.
