The New York Jets are bringing back 40-year-old kicker Nick Folk, the team announced Tuesday.

Folk has appeared in 242 games over 17 seasons with five teams, including the Jets from 2010 through 2016.

He led the NFL in field-goal accuracy in each of the past two seasons with the Tennessee Titans: 96.7 percent (29 of 30) in 2023 and 95.5 percent (21 of 22) in 2024 — the two highest marks of his career.

With the Jets, Folk made 82.2 percent (175 of 213) of his field goals and 99.0 percent (204 of 206) of his extra-point attempts. He ranks second in franchise history in made field goals and points (729).

Entering 2025, Folk ranks third among active players and 14th on the all-time list with 403 career field goals. Among active kickers, he trails Justin Tucker (417) and Matt Prater (407).

Folk made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys (2007-09) and has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2017) and New England Patriots (2019-22).

The Jets signed former UFL kicker Harrison Mevis and released Anders Carlson in June. They waived undrafted free agent kicker Caden Davis on Tuesday.
