The Jets signed Santos this offseason, but they gave him a modest contract — one year, $2 million, with a $500,000 signing bonus. Santos struggled with a groin injury last season. He is an 84.1-percent career field goal kicker. Instead of taking three kickers into spring practices, the Jets waived Nick Rose and retained Bertolet, who was signed after a rookie minicamp tryout.
The Jets drafted Leggett in Round 5 last year, but he missed his entire rookie season due to a knee injury. Then the Jets saw their top tight end, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, leave for the Jaguars in free agency.
