    The Jets announce the re-signing of PK Nick Folk -- a free agent who stayed


    Jets re-signed K Nick Folk.
    Folk, 28, made just 21-of-27 field goal attempts last season, but that 77.8 percent rate was his best since 2008. Folk also handles kickoff duties for Gang Green.

    Good resigning. I remember a couple of his kicks being blocked which lowered his percentage. He's still a good kicker.

    He's a solid' if unspectacular' kicker. Hopefully we bring in some competition during training camp to push him a little.

    If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't put no points on the board.

    Folk is just glad Sanchez isn't the holder.

    Without the 3 blocks he was 24/27, almost 90%. I seem to remember one or 2 coming off the uprights too. Not as bad as his numbers seem.

    But they were blocked. Blocked kicks, along with poor protection, can also be attributed to poor kicks (low for example). Nobody is able to determine if all or any of the 3 blocked kicks were going in. He's average at best. 21 of 27 is not good at all.

    He's not great but he's cheap & he's clutch. Considering all the holes we've got, I'm OK with just bringing him back.

    Yaaa. I made a thread about this earlier but the nazis that run this board deleted it for some reason. Nick is my favorite jet and I'm glad to see that bald headed, ugly SOB back in the Green N White.

    Any numbers on the contract out yet ?

    wow our best signing so far, what a great off season... our fireworks are as exciting as a pack of 99 cent sparklers. Even Rex is getting in on it by saying Tebow is competing for the staring job this season. haha
