Sam Ficken needs nothing short of a perfect preseason if he wants to stick around with the Jets for a little bit longer.

There is a reason Joe Douglas signed Brett Maher at the end of 2019. Ficken was not necessarily bad for New York, but the Jets need more than an average kicker that makes them hold their breath every time he lines up to attempt a field goal. They need a kicker that they can rely on no matter the scenario.

Maher also needs a strong preseason following a rough season with the Cowboys, but Ficken is the one who is behind the eight ball entering training camp. With two fewer opportunities to make kicks, he could wind up as the odd man out in this position battle.
