Sep 9, 2024; Santa Clara, California, USA; New York Jets place kicker Greg Zuerlein (9) during the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images The New York Jets released veteran kicker Greg Zuerlein and signed defensive end Michael Fletcher on Friday.
Zuerlein, 37, struggled with injuries and accuracy in 2024, the former Pro Bowler’s third season with the Jets.
He missed nine games with knee issues and made only 9 of 15 field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra points.
Zuerlein converted 65 of 75 field goals (86.7 percent) in his first two seasons with New York.
Over 13 seasons, he made 82.2 percent of his field goals (338 of 411) and 95.6 percent of his PATs (395 of 413).
Zuerlein played for the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-19) and Dallas Cowboys (2020-21) before joining the Jets.
The Jets created $2.4 million in salary cap savings by releasing “Greg the Leg,” who has a $2.3 million dead cap hit for 2025. They have kickers Anders Carlson and Caden Davis on the roster.
Fletcher was undrafted in 2025. He played in 22 games at Michigan State (2019-22) and 23 games at Appalachian State (2023-24), totaling 11.5 sacks and 71 tackles with two fumble recoveries.

Cartolas da CBF aproveitam paixão nacional para fazer negócios
A menos de um ano da Copa do Mundo, a entidade que comanda o futebol brasileiro está acéfala. Na quinta-feira, a Justiça afastou o presidente da CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues. Ele é suspeito de arquitetar uma fraude para se segurar no cargo. A decisão do desembargador Gabriel Zéfiro não foi propriamente uma surpresa. Dos últimos seis chefões da CBF, cinco foram afastados por envolvimento em escândalos. A lista é encabeçada pelo notório Ricardo Teixeira. Dono da bola por 23 anos, ele foi banido do futebol pela Fifa, acusado de embolsar propina em contratos milionários. Seu sucessor, o malufista José Maria Marin, foi preso no chamado Fifagate. Passou cinco anos detido no exterior e voltou para casa graças à pandemia. O presidente seguinte, Marco Polo Del Nero, foi banido pelas mesmas práticas corruptas. Para escapar das algemas, adotou a tática de esconder […]
