Pro Bowl Kicker Released By NFL Team Ahead Of 2025 Season

  • The New York Jets released veteran kicker Greg Zuerlein on Friday, May 16, 2025, ending his three-season tenure with the team.
  • Zuerlein struggled in 2024 due to a knee injury and poor accuracy, making only 9 of 15 field goals and spending time twice on injured reserve.
  • The Jets pushed a youth movement under coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey, who cut several veteran players including kicker Thomas Morstead immediately prior.
  • At 37 years old, Zuerlein had a career-low 60% conversion rate last season despite a contract worth $8.4 million with one year remaining, and Glenn said, "It's a young man's game."
  • The Jets now feature two younger kickers, Anders Carlson and rookie Caden Davis, and plan a kicking competition for training camp, signaling a clear roster direction.
