Jets to sign kicker Sam Ficken, source confirms

The Jets have another new kicker.

They are expected to sign former Ram Sam Ficken, a league source confirmed. When Ficken signs, he will be the fourth kicker the Jets have had on their roster since August. Kaare Vedvik is on his way out.

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.

Ficken was with the Packers in the preseason, hit his only field-goal attempt (41 yards) and made all five of his extra points.
