The New York Jets have signed veteran kicker Jason Sanders and waived veteran kicker Younghoe Koo, according to a report from @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
The roster move indicates an immediate shift for the Jets special teams unit. Sanders joins the team to take over placekicking duties, bringing veteran experience to the specialist group. In a corresponding move, the Jets have parted ways with Younghoe Koo, who was waived to make room on the active roster for the new addition.
Before joining the Jets, Sanders built a reputation as a consistent leg in the league. The decision to release Koo marks a significant change for the franchise as they look to stabilize their kicking game. No further details regarding the terms of the contract for Sanders have been disclosed at this time, and the team has not announced any additional roster adjustments.
