The New York Jets are signing kicker Brett Maher to a reserve/future deal according to the team.
Maher, 30, is best known for his two-year tenure with the Dallas Cowboys (2018-19). In a notable Jets connection, Maher made history in the Cowboys’ October visit to MetLife Stadium. He became the first kicker in NFL history to kick multiple field goals from at least 62 yards out. One week later, Maher kicked his career-best from 63 yards (one short of the NFL record for longest field goal) in a Dallas win over Philadelphia.
However, Maher’s accuracy issues were blamed for costing the Cowboys several games in a season where they narrowly missed the playoffs.
