The New York Jets have officially brought back a familiar face and fan favorite to shake up their kicker competition. Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters after Tuesday’s practice that the team has signed veteran kicker Nick Folk.
The move reunites the Jets with their second all-time leading scorer nearly a decade after his first stint ended. The Jets released rookie UDFA Caden Davis earlier in the day, setting the stage for a head-to-head battle between Folk and UFL standout Harrison Mevis, also known as the “Thiccer Kicker.”
Folk spent seven years with the Jets between 2010 and 2016 and is beloved by many fans to this day.
