New York Jets Sign Veteran Kicker Nick Folk

NEW YORK, JUL 29 – The Jets released rookie kicker Caden Davis shortly after training camp began, leaving Harrison Mevis as the only kicker on the roster, according to team sources.

  • The New York Jets signed veteran kicker Nick Folk on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at their training camp in Florham Park, New Jersey.
  • The Jets released rookie kicker Caden Davis due to his unreliable performance, resulting in Harrison Mevis remaining on the roster while veteran Nick Folk was brought in for a workout as a potential option.
  • Folk played seven seasons for the Jets between 2010 and 2016 before joining the Tennessee Titans last year, where he successfully converted 21 of 22 field goal attempts, achieving a 95.5 percent accuracy rate.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn called Folk a 'very established kicker in this league' and noted, 'anybody that can help us win games, we're going to take a look at that.'
  • This signing bolsters the Jets' kicking room amid ongoing competition and leaves them with two kickers as they prepare for the rest of training camp.
