FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Looking to upgrade their kicking situation, the New York Jets turned to a familiar face Tuesday, re-signing well-traveled free agent Nick Folk.
Folk was the Jets' kicker from 2010 to 2016, earning the nickname "Folk Hero" from former coach Rex Ryan during New York's playoff run in 2010 -- their last postseason appearance.
Folk, 40, was the most accurate kicker in the NFL over the last two seasons, making 50 of 52 field goal attempts for a league-best 96.2% with the Tennessee Titans.
"He's a very established kicker in this league," Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday.
