Jets release Greg Zuerlein following terrible 2024 season
NY Post
Greg The Leg got the boot.
The Jets released kicker Greg Zuerlein on Friday in a move that has been expected.
Zuerlein had a terrible 2024 season, missing six field-goal attempts in only eight games played.
His 2024 season will be remembered for critical missed kicks against the Broncos, Bills and Patriots.
Zuerlein, 37, joined the Jets in 2022 and solidified a position that had been a mess for the Jets for several years.
He only missed three field goals in 2023 and the Jets rewarded him with a two-year, $8.4 million contract last offseason that included $4.2 million in guarantees – the biggest contract for a kicker in team history.

He had just delivered what was — may still be — the forever money performance in the Nets’ NBA history. Jason Kidd had played 51 minutes, 38 seconds of a 120-109 double overtime win against the Pacers, do-or-die Game 5, 2002 first round at the Meadowlands. Reggie Miller had made another of his gut-punch shots to extend the game, a 35-footer that made Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 prayer against the Knicks seem like a routine layup.
