In August of 2018, the NY Jets claimed Jason Myers off waivers after he was released by the Seattle Seahawks. Myers’ performance that year would earn him a selection to the AFC Pro Bowl roster.

Unfortunately, then-Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan chose not to re-sign Myers during the offseason of that year. The former Jets standout has now gone on to post two outstanding seasons back with Seattle while the Jets kicking situation has been inconsistent at best.

From Chandler Catanzaro’s sudden retirement in the summer of 2019 to Kaare Vedvik’s opening day fiasco of that same year, the Jets have since lacked the consistency that Myers provided for them.
