FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Former All-Pro Greg Zuerlein has won the New York Jets' kicking competition, as the team released 2021 holdover Eddy Pineiro on Tuesday.
The Jets hope Zuerlein, released by the Dallas Cowboys in March, can provide stability at the position. They will open the season with a different kicker for the seventh straight year and overall have gone through eight kickers since losing Jason Myers to free agency after his All-Pro season in 2018.
Zuerlein, 34, signed a one-year, $2 million contract with New York in March.
