This offseason, former Jets special teams coordinator Brant Boyer departed, following former head coach Robert Saleh to San Francisco. And with that, the Jets have hired Chris Banjo from the Denver Broncos as their new special teams coordinator, who will now look to lead the Jets’ unit, which was average last season.
Greg Zuerlein was projected to be the Jets’ kicker heading into 2025, even after the team brought in competition earlier in the offseason. But with the veteran recently released, there’s a new leg in town—one that may just be better for the team’s future.
A former Packers bust could win a starting job elsewhere.
How many of the active NFL players who have rushed for 1,000 or more yards in a season can you name in five minutes?
Greg Zuerlein‘s three-year run with the Jets has come to an end. The veteran kicker was released on Friday, per a team announcement. Zuerlein enjoyed a strong pair of seasons upon arrival in New York, connecting on 86.7% of his field goal attempts over that stretch.
0-7. That was the New York Jets’ record in games decided by six points or fewer in the 2024 season. They were the only NFL team to go winless in these games.
The New York Jets announced Tuesday that they’ve signed K Anders Carlson and TE Neal Johnson to futures contracts for the 2025 season. Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will allow players to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp.
It looks like the Jets are bringing in some competition for struggling backup kicker Anders Carlson.
The New York Jets signed kicker Anders Carlson to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Tuesday. The move comes two days after Carlson connected on a pair of field-goal attempts -- including a 58-yarder -- and made all three extra-point tries in New York's 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
The New York Jets took a step on Monday to ensure they won’t have to play kicker roulette when they return from the bye week, as they signed Anders Carlson to the active roster.
The New York Jets suffered yet another heartbreaking loss on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, 28-27. The Jets won't leave the game with many positive takeways, especially on offense.

The San Francisco 49ers announced Tuesday that they’ve released K Anders Carlson from their practice squad, per Tom Pelissero. Carlson, 26, was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Auburn.
The 49ers are adding Anders Carlson to their practice squad.
The kicker played a part in the Packers' playoff defeat in 2023, missing a critical 41-yard field-goal attempt midway through the fourth quarter of the 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
Three years remain on Carlson’s rookie deal, making him an interesting option for a kicker-needy club.
As the Packers try to find their way in the the post-Mason Crosby era, the kicker position has been highly scrutinized. Anders Carlson entered this training camp on shaky ground after a rookie season where he made 81.8% of his kicks, but missed at least one kick in each of the final five games.
In the span of two offseasons, the Packers transitioned from Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, while completely rebuilding the offense around Love and fortifying a defense that is stacked with first-round talent.
The Green Bay Packers underwent some major changes during the 2023 offseason. While many people focused on Jordan Love taking over for Aaron Rodgers, he wasn’t the only long-time starter who was replaced.
6:21 left in the game. “Here’s Anders Carlson, 41-yard try for him,” is what us Green Bay Packers fans heard as Kevin Burkhardt described the events that were unfolding before our eyes.
Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson had a bumpy rookie season. After being selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Auburn, he was handed the starting job.
The Green Bay Packers almost signed a veteran kicker to serve as a true challenger to Anders Carlson, a league source told Packer Central. The identity of the kicker will be withheld for this story.
Being an NFL kicker is mostly a thankless job. It seems that most of the time kickers are remembered for their misses much more than their makes. That is exactly the case for Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson following an inconsistent rookie season in 2023.
The Green Bay Packers went young at quarterback, receiver and tight end with great results. They went young on special teams with less-than-great results.
Anders Carlson had an 81.8% field goal accuracy and an 87.1% success rate on extra points in his rookie season. However, he struggled in the Green Bay Packers’ final five games, including a critical miss on a 41-yard field goal attempt against the No.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur explained during Monday's season-ending news conference why he was upset with Fox Sports reporter Tom Rinaldi.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur may have lost faith in the football gods after his team’s 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
Like most rookies in the NFL, Anders Carlson is experiencing some growing pains. The former Auburn kicker has been shaky over the last six weeks, converting only 11 of 14 field goals and 13 of 16 extra points.
The Packers should have beaten the Falcons in Week 2. That's no disrespect meant to Atlanta, either. It's just the truth about playing in the NFL. If you've got a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter, that's a game you have to win in order to be a good team.
