Jets sign erratic former Cowboys K Brett Maher to futures deal

The New York Jets signed former Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher to a reserve/futures contract on Tuesday.

The Cowboys released Maher last month after he missed 10 field goal attempts during the season, the most for a kicker in the past four seasons.

For the season, Maher was 20-of-30 on field goals and became the only kicker in NFL history with three makes of at least 60 yards. He hit a 62-yarder last year against Philadelphia and attempts of 62 and 63 yards this season against the Eagles and New York Jets.

He was 36-of-36 on point-after attempts this season.
