The New York Jets claimed placekicker Blake Grupe off waivers on Monday. The move follows the Indianapolis Colts’ decision to release Grupe during final roster cuts on Sunday. After signing with the Colts in March, Grupe did not secure a spot on the team's final roster following training camp. The New York Jets signed Grupe after releasing kicker Jason Sanders, who was subsequently moved to the practice squad. Reports indicate that Grupe is expected to serve as the new starting kicker for the New York Jets. Grupe previously spent over two seasons with the New Orleans Saints before his tenure in Indianapolis.
