The New York Jets signed Kicker, Cade York, during free agency to fill the void left by Nick Folk.

The 25-year-old stands 6 foot 1 and weighs 206 pounds. He was a fourth-round draft pick out of

LSU back in 2022 and has already played for six other NFL teams. York has appeared in just six

regular season games over three years, with none last season. In college, York's Shona LSU,

making 82% of his field goals and going perfect on extra points for a stretch. He helped the

Tigers to a national title as a freshman and earned all SEC honors later. His rookie year with the

Browns started strong with a franchise record, 58 yard game winner, but inconsistency led to misses.

York bounced around after that, getting cut by the Browns before the 2023 season and sitting

out entirely. He had breached things with the Giants and Titans, then won a job with the commanders

in 2024, only to get released after missing both field. Goal tries in his debut. Later,

he played five games for the Bengals, going 9-11 on field goals, including a 59 yarder. His strengths

include a powerful leg with multiple 50 plus yard successes and solid kickoff work at 63% touchbacks.

Accuracy has been spotty in the pros at around 75%, and he's had key misses like potential

game winners. Still, he shows clutch potential from college and early NFL highlights.

Fans worry about his journeyman status, but it's a low-risk minimum deal for the jets to compete

against Lenny Krieg, their only other kicker. If York clicks, great. If not, they can pivot easily

with no long-term commitment. This story is shared with support from our sponsor. You know what is
