Younghoe Koo: Breaking News

Let go by Gang Green

The Jets cut Koo on Wednesday. Koo inked with New York in late May but appears to have struggled during his brief stint at OTAs, but the team has now signed a replacement option in Jason Sanders to compete with Cade York (groin). Across six regular-season appearances between the Giants and Falcons in 2025, Koo converted six of nine field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra-point tries. He will now search for a chance to compete elsewhere during the offseason.

Signing with Jets

The Jets are slated to sign Koo, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports. Koo spent time with the Falcons, his original NFL team, as well as the Giants in 2025, combining to make six of his nine field-goal attempts and 13 of his 14 extra-point tries in six regular season games (one with Atlanta and five with New York). With the Jets, the 31-year-old will have a chance to compete for kicking duties with Cade York and Lenny Krieg.

Cut loose by Giants

The Giants waived Koo on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. After being cut by the Falcons following Week 1, Koo has now been booted off a team's roster for the second time this season following another errant kicking performance. In this past Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders, Koo knocked down all three of point-after tries but failed to connect on field goals from 52 and 51 yards, with both attempts missing by fair margins. Altogether, Koo missed three kicks (two field goals, one extra point) on 18 attempts during his five-game run as New York's kicker. The Giants are expected to elevate or sign Ben Sauls off the practice squad to take over as their new kicker beginning with this Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
