Overview
- Sources first reported the signing Wednesday and the addition was later corroborated by multiple outlets that said the team had not yet issued an official announcement.
- Koo will join Cade York and Lenny Krieg on the Jets’ 90-man roster as the team evaluates who will replace Nick Folk, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons in March.
- Last season Koo split time between the Falcons and Giants and combined to make 6 of 9 field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra points while enduring two high-profile miscues, including a late missed potential game-tying kick in Week 1 and a widely circulated botched attempt for the Giants.
- Koo was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and owns career totals of 185 of 217 on field-goal tries and 186 of 194 on extra points, which underscores the veteran upside the Jets are testing.
- The signing gives Koo a clear chance to revive his career and gives the Jets a low-cost way to compare a proven veteran with two younger options during offseason workouts and training camp, with the roster decision expected to hinge on consistency in practice and preseason games.
