NYJetsVets91 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Folk who was franchise tagged on Feb. 28 has sign a multi-year contract with the Jets. http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-randylangefb/Nick-Folk-Signs-Multiyear-Agreement-with-Jets/fc6430ea-7c99-4c1a-bf80-3ac8511a5390 Randy LangeEditor-in-Chief, newyorkjets.com@rlangejets Blog: Randy's Radar Placekicker Nick Folk, who late last season expressed an interest in signing a long-term deal with the Jets, has signed a multiyear contract. Folk, who was franchise-tagged on Feb. 28, enjoyed in 2013 arguably his best season in seven seasons as a pro and four with the Jets. He hit the game-winning field goals in the season opener against Tampa Bay, at Atlanta and at home in overtime against New England. He remains among the NFL's top three most accurate fourth-quarter kickers of the past 24 seasons, with his 92.2% career rate (47-for-51) trailing only Stephen Gostkowski (96.9%) and Denver's Matt Prater (94.0%). Those game-winning kicks were three of the career-high 33 field goals he made in 36 attempts for a career-high 91.7% accuracy. He also broke our franchise records for most consecutive field goals from the start of a season (23) and most consecutive home field goals (20), and he recorded a career-high 30 kickoff touchbacks. For his Jets career, Folk has an 81.1% accuracy on his regular-season field goal tries (103-for-127) and for his career the figure is 80.3% (167-for-208).

stoicsentry Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Serious question: on the first day of free agency, they're devoting someone (or some group of people) to get a multi-year deal done with Folk? Is this Idzik's way of giving the middle finger to free agency? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Going to need a good kicker when the offense continues to falter! Folk kicked really well. It made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 While I do like this signing, it just seems weird that we would announce it today, the first day of FA. We had him franchised. It didn't matter whether or not it got done. He wasn't going anywhere. We should have been focusing on other players IMO. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
