The New York Jets waived kicker Younghoe Koo on June 3, 2026, signing veteran Jason Sanders as his replacement. Koo struggled since being released by the Atlanta Falcons early in the 2025 season. During his tenure with the Falcons, he made 178 of 205 field goals and earned a Pro Bowl selection. Koo faced challenges after suffering a leg injury and missed a crucial game-tying field goal in the 2025 season. After being released, he appeared in five games for the New York Giants, converting four of six field goals. Should he clear waivers, Koo is expected to enter free agency.
