Zuerlein’s release came three days after the Jets cut 39-year-old punter Thomas Morstead. New York has also moved on this season from a few other prominent veterans, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, wide receiver Davante Adams and linebacker C.J. Mosley.

The New York Jets have made another special teams move and their roster got younger in the process. The team announced that kicker Greg Zuerlein has been released: Zuerlein, 37, has spent the past three seasons in New York.

PK Greg Zuerlein, whose missed kicks loomed large in three losses last season, was released Friday. Frankly, it's a surprise they waited this long. Zuerlein, 37, was terrific in 2023, but made only nine of 15 FGs last season.
