After a few uneven performances at training camp, Jets general manager Darren Mougey is now considering going in a different direction. The Jets hosted free-agent kicker Nick Folk on a visit on Monday and went on to re-sign him on Tuesday. Folk kicked for the Jets from 2010-16.

Veteran kicker Nick Folk has signed with the New York Jets, reuniting with the team he played for from 2010 to 2016.

The man nicknamed "Folk Hero" by then-first-year head coach Rex Ryan for his clutch kicking in 2010 was buffeted by the NFL winds to Tampa Bay, then to New England and Tennessee. And the gusts have brought him back to the Jets, where he has signed to kick for another first-year HC in Aaron Glenn.
