Jets make kicker decision but perhaps not the final one
The Jets have made a decision on a kicker, but it might not be the final choice the team makes in this special teams department.
The New York Jets have released kicker Cade York, but the team's decision to waive him may not be the final one. According to The Athletic, both York and veteran Jason Sanders struggled during Monday's practice, leading to York's release. York, once an All-Pro with the Miami Dolphins, has since become the only kicker on the Jets' roster following his waiver.
Sanders, a 30-year-old, missed the entire 2025 season due to a hip injury, which has also plagued him this summer. Despite Sanders' struggles, special teams coordinator Chris Banjo praised his veteran experience, stating that his division and stadium experience make him a valuable asset. However, the Jets could still sign additional competition for Sanders' position.
As of now, Sanders remains the Jets' starting kicker. Jets Wire will keep readers updated on the team's developments throughout the 2026 NFL season.
