FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets have addressed their kicker issue – for now.
They signed Taylor Bertolet Sunday after Chandler Catanzaro informed coach Adam Gase on Friday that he was retiring.
Catanzaro, in his second tour of duty with the Jets, had been struggling. Catanzaro, 28, missed numerous field goals during practice, and two of his three extra-point attempts in Thursday’s preseason game.
“He came in Friday morning and told me he was done,” Gase said.
