Zuerlein had two good years with the Jets, but his last year was difficult.
The Jets have announced the release of kicker Greg Zuerlein after three years with the team.
The Jets signed Zuerlein in 2022. His first year was solid as he connected on 81.1 percent of his field goal attempts. His second year was excellent as he made 92.1%. His third and final year, however, was rocky. He made only 9 of 15 with several of the misses coming in tight losses. The Jets placed Zuerlein on IR halfway through the season, and he did not return to action.
There seems to be a youth movement on the team, which is spilling over to special teams. The release of the 37 year old Zuerlein comes days after the Jets parted ways with 39 year old punter Thomas Morstead.
The Jets now have two kickers on the roster. Anders Carlson made 8 of 10 kicks replacing Zuerlein last season. Caden Davis is an undrafted free agent signing out of Ole Miss.
