The New York Jets continue to make moves.
Gang Green announced on social media that they are parting ways with veteran placekicker Greg Zuerlein. In a corresponding move, the Jets announced the signing of defensive end Michael Fletcher.

Zuerlein, 37, had one year remaining on the $8.4 million contract he signed last offseason.
Zuerlein Had One of the Worst Seasons in Jets History
The Jets’ decision to move on from Zuerlein makes plenty of sense. Zuerlein, a former Pro Bowler, struggled throughout the 2024 season.
He appeared in eight games and went 9-for-15 on his field goal attempts. That 60% conversion rate was the lowest mark of Zuerlein’s career.
Before the Jets placed Zuerlein on injured reserve with a mysterious knee injury in Week 9, his six misses led the league.
This is a developing story, and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
