Potential Free Agents

Overview

It wasn't a special year for the specialists, and some of the Jets' NFL rankings tell the story: 26th in kickoff-return average, 28th in gross punting average, 31st in net punting, 30th in opponents' gross punting, 29th in opponents' net, and no blocked kicks of any kind by any Jet since Week 15 of the 2013 season, the fewest in the league in that span. After the season, head coach Todd Bowles said ST coordinator Bobby April and assistant ST coach Steve Hagen won't return, so refurbishing the special teams will be a Bowles priority in 2016.
