Jason Myers will be Jets kicker for season opener

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Jason Myers appears to have won the Jets’ kicking competition. For now, at least.

The Jets brought in a few kickers this week for workouts, including former Cowboy Dan Bailey and ex-Buccaneer Roberto Aguayo. But coach Todd Bowles said Myers would be the Jets kicker Monday night in Detroit.

“We liked him in the preseason,” Bowles said. “We brought a lot of guys in at a lot of different positions. This is the time of year you kick the tires around for everybody in case injuries happen. We’re doing our due diligence to make sure we bring guys in at every position.
