The New York Jets have waived kicker Cade York following a practice where both he and Jason Sanders struggled. With York's departure, Sanders is now the only kicker on the roster. Although Sanders, a former All-Pro, is currently in the role, his inconsistent performance raises the possibility that the Jets may seek additional competition for him. Special teams coordinator Chris Banjo has praised Sanders' experience but acknowledged the need for improvement. Updates on the kicking situation are expected as the season progresses.
