Sam Ficken and Brett Maher

The Jets are only going to carry one kicker, which means either Sam Ficken or Brett Maher will be left searching for a new home at the end of training camp.

Ficken has the familiarity factor working in his favor, but that doesn’t really matter for a kicker — especially one who had a below-average 2019 season. Maher, meanwhile, is coming off a brutal year with the Cowboys and could very well be on his last chance in the league.

Ficken and Maher’s battle throughout training camp and the preseason will dictate which of New York’s veteran kickers is left out in the cold once September rolls around. At this point, it’s a toss-up as to which one begins 2020 donning the green and white.
