What happened: The New York Jets have signed kicker Younghoe Koo, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Koo arrives in New York after previous stints with the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants.

Why it matters: The move addresses the Jets' kicking situation heading into the 2026 season, giving the team a veteran option at a position that can swing close games. Koo's experience across multiple NFL stops adds competition and stability to New York's special teams unit.

What to watch: Watch for the Jets to clarify their roster plans at kicker through the offseason and into training camp, where Koo's job security and any competition will take shape.
