The NY Jets have released kicker Sergio Castillo after his disastrous Week 14.

The NY Jets will have themselves a new kicker this week after they officially announced the release of the incumbent Sergio Castillo. It was a nice story for a while.

A former AAF, CFL, and XFL kicker who had bounced around all the second-tier football leagues looking for a break finally got one when he was signed to the Jets practice squad in the middle of October.

Just 10 days later, he was elevated to the active roster following an injury to Sam Ficken and would make his NFL debut just two weeks before his 30th birthday.
