The New York Jets have announced that they have signed veteran placekicker Greg Zuerlein. The 34-year-old Zuerlein has been in the league for 10 years. He has played for the Rams (8 years) and the Cowboys (2 years). Last year he made 63 of his 76 field goal attempts (82.9%). Extra points were a big issue for Zuerlein last season as he missed 6 of them on 48 attempts.
This move means the Jets officially have a kicking competition set for training camp. Eddy Pineiro was a late-season addition for the Jets and he was 8 of 8 on field goals.
