Veteran kicker Nick Folk is returning to the Jets. The Jets announced today that they have signed Folk, shortly after they waived kicker Caden Davis. Folk will now compete with the other kicker in Jets camp, Harrison Mevis, to earn the job in the regular season.

The Jets just signed the guy who led the NFL in field goal percentage the past two years. That would be the same kicker the Patriots once traded away.

Folk, 40, immediately becomes the oldest player on the team by a wide margin after an offseason in which the Jets’ new regime, led by Glenn and GM Darren Mougey, parted ways with several key veterans in favor of youth, speed, and athleticism.

The New York Jets are taking a look at an old friend. With two inexperienced kickers doing battle during 2025 training camp in Caden Davis and Harrison Mevis, the team had Nick Folk in for a workout on Monday according to the NFL's transaction wire: Folk, 40, kicked for the Jets from 2010-2016.
