The New York Jets claimed kicker Kaare Vedvik off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Jets tried trading for him with Baltimore before the Ravens sent him to the Vikings last month for a fifth-round pick.
On Saturday, the Vikings waived Vedvik despite giving up that draft capital.
The Norwegian-born combo kicker was 12-of-13 on field goals during the past two preseasons in Baltimore before going 1-for-4 on such kicks with the Vikings. Upon arriving in Minnesota, Vikings coaches considered the idea of letting Vedvik handle both kicking and punting responsibilities, something he'd previously handled during his collegiate career at Marshall, though the difficulties in handling such a heavy workload -- especially for a rookie -- were noted.
