The New York Jets have re-signed kicker Nick Folk. Folk, 28, has spent the last three seasons as the kicker of the Jets.
Last season Folk made 21-of-27 field goal attempts last season yet that percentage was his highest since 2008.
He doesn’t have a particularly strong leg on kickoffs, with just 12 touchbacks on 68 kickoffs. Last year he had to beat out Josh Brown for the kicking job in New York.
