Nick Folk: Breaking News

Lands in Atlanta

Folk agreed to terms Monday on a two-year contract with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Folk, who is heading into his age-42 season, converted 28 of 29 field-goal tries and all 16 of his PATs across 16 regular-season appearances with the Jets in 2025, and he remains one of the league's more accurate kickers, having led the position in field-goal accuracy each of the last three years. He will start for Atlanta in 2026, a landing spot that figures to provide increased scoring opportunities compared to what he saw most recently in New York.

Will play in 2026

Folk announced he intends to play in the 2026 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Folk will return for another NFL season after converting 28 of his 29 field-goal attempts and all 22 of his extra-point tries across 16 games with the Jets during the 2025 campaign. The 41-year-old is set to become a free agent once the new league year begins and will likely be one of the top options at kicker.

Bright spot for Jets this season

Folk made 28 of 29 field-goal attempts and all 22 of his extra-point tries over 16 games during the 2025-26 campaign. The Jets finished with the NFL's fourth-lowest-scoring offense, so opportunities weren't exactly ripe for Folk. However, the veteran kicker was outstanding when called upon, missing just one of his 51 total kicks. Folk made a career-best seven FGs from 50-plus yards out, with his only miss of the season being a 55-yard try in Week 13. He's slated to be a free agent, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Jets try to bring Folk back considering his very strong recent success -- he's led NFL kickers in FG accuracy each of the past three campaigns, going a tremendous 78-for-81 during that span.
