Cade York: Everything you need to know

The Jets have agreed to a one-year deal with York, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. York, who the Browns took in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, didn't see any regular-season action in 2025, but over the course of his pro career, the LSU product had made 33 of his 45 field-goal attempts. With the Jets, York will have an opportunity to fill the void created by the free agent departure of Nick Folk. Also currently in the team's kicking mix is Lenny Krieg.

The Saints cut York from the practice squad Thursday. York's presence as a reserve kicker is no longer necessary for New Orleans, with Charlie Smyth on track to be elevated from the practice squad Week 16. Despite having inked with New Orleans' practice squad late November, York ultimately didn't get a chance to debut for the team. He'll search for an opportunity to compete elsewhere in the league.

York won't be elevated off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay. York will remain on the practice squad once again, as Charlie Smyth will continue to serve as the team's kicker. York was initially unable to beat out Smyth in the competition for the kicker spot, but he could take over the role going forward if Smyth struggles versus the Buccaneers.
