The Jets hope their kicker situation is finally settled.

They signed former Ram Sam Ficken on Tuesday and waived Kaare Vedvik. Ficken is the fourth kicker the Jets have had on their roster since August.

The Jets held a kicking tryout at their facility after Vedvik struggled in his NFL debut Sunday. His only field-goal attempt missed wide right and his lone extra-point try doinked off the upright in the Jets’ 17-16 loss to the Bills.
