The Jets wanted to bring in competition for Nick Folk. How badly? So bad that they reached out to Josh Brown 10 minutes after he was released, and he signed as soon as he cleared waivers.
Two veterans battling it out for a spot. However, Josh Brown has never done this before. Take a look at what he told Rich Cimini:
“I’ve never been in a serious competition,” Brown told me last week at OTAs. “This will be my 10th season and I’ve never had someone that legitimately pressed me.”
Brown became expendable when the Rams drafted a kicker. The Texans made an offer, but they too drafted a kicker.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
