Jets have already seen enough of rookie after 6 days

The New York Jets signed an undrafted free-agent kicker following the 2026 NFL Draft and the team has already seen enough of him.

On May 8, the Jets signed a total of 12 undrafted free agents, including BYU kicker Will Ferrin, who went on to take part in the team’s rookie minicamp from May 8-10.

However, just six days after signing with Gang Green, Ferrin is on his way out.

According to the New York Post’s Brian Costello, the Jets are waiving Ferrin on Wednesday.

“The Jets are cutting rookie kicker Will Ferrin, according to a source,” Costello said. “He was a UDFA signing from BYU. This clears a roster spot for Tim Patrick. They still have kickers Cade York and Lenny Krieg on the roster.”

Ferrin was one of three kickers competing for the starting job in New York, along with Cade York and Lenny Krieg.

The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt adds that Ferrin wasn’t having a ton of success with his opportunities in practice, which is likely what led to him getting the boot.

“Wow, Will Ferrin already released. He did miss a couple FGs at the rookie camp practice we saw him kicking at — but I thought he’d at least get a shot to compete for the job,” Rosenblatt said.

Ferrin was BYU’s kicker for three years. He tallied a field goal success rate of 81.7% and made 122 of his 123 extra points in that span.

Now, he’ll try to find a new home in the NFL.
