The Jets are bringing back a familiar face.
The team signed veteran kicker Nick Folk on Tuesday to solidify a position that has looked shaky early in training camp.
Folk, 40, kicked for the Jets between 2010-16, making some huge kicks for the team — none bigger than a 32-yard game winner in their 2010 AFC wild-card playoff victory over the Colts.

Chuck Vine, Folk’s longtime friend and adviser, gave The Post this statement from Folk: “It means a lot to be back with the Jets. This place shaped my career and holds a lot of great memories. But I’m not here to reminisce. I’m here to compete, lead and do my job at the highest level.”
The Jets began training camp with rookies Caden Davis and Harrison Mevis on the roster. Both have been unimpressive in camp.

He went 21-for-22 last year and 29-for-30 in 2023 with the Titans.
