The Jets swiftly decided to part ways with their rookie kicker.
A source has revealed that the team is releasing kicker Will Ferrin. Ferrin’s stint with the Jets was brief, having been signed as an undrafted free agent shortly after last month’s NFL draft.
During last weekend’s rookie minicamp, Ferrin, who hails from BYU, showed inconsistent performance. Despite receiving a $18,750 guarantee, as reported by Spotrac, his future with the team was short-lived.
The decision to release Ferrin comes as the Jets aim to make room on the roster for wide receiver Tim Patrick, with whom they finalized a contract on Wednesday.
Following Nick Folk’s departure to the Falcons during free agency, the Jets are on the lookout for a reliable kicker. Currently, the roster includes Cade York and Lenny Krieg in that role, but adjustments are expected as they continue their search for a dependable option throughout spring and summer.
