Folk would bring considerably more reliability to the Jets' kicking game. Together, Mougey and special teams coordinator Chris Banjo must decide if they want to gamble on Mevis or Davis being a long-term solution. Signing Folk would obviously be a short-term fix.

The New York Jets signed one of the oldest active players in the NFL, as the team announced Tuesday it agreed to terms with 40-year-old kicker Nick Folk. This news came just hours after the Jets waived kicker Caden Davis.

Kicker Nick Folk is back with the Jets. They signed the 40-year Folk after working him out Monday. Folk played for the Jets from 2010 through 2016. He made 175 of 213 field goals in his Jets’ career. Since 2017, the Jets have used 15 different kickers.
