Jets bring back K Catanzaro

NEW YORK — The Jets solved their kicking question with a familiar foot.

Chandler Catanzaro was signed to a one-year deal by New York on Friday, marking the kicker’s second stint with the team after it allowed Pro Bowl selection Jason Myers to leave as a free agent.

Catanzaro spent the 2017 season with New York and set the franchise record with a 57-yard field goal against Cleveland. He signed a three-year contract with Tampa Bay as a free agent last offseason, but struggled, missing four of his 15 field-goal attempts and four of his extra points.

He rebounded after signing with Carolina late in the season to replace the injured Graham Gano, making all five of his field-goal tries and going 7 of 8 on extra points.

The 28-year-old Catanzaro spent his first three NFL seasons with Arizona and has a career field-goal percentage of 83.8. In his lone season with the Jets, he was 25 of 30 on field goals and made all 29 of his extrapoint tries.

Myers became the first Jets kicker to make the Pro Bowl last season after making an NFL-record five field goals of at least 55 yards, but New York opted to not resign him. He signed a fouryear deal with Seattle on Wednesday.

The Jets also officially announced the signings of linebacker C.J. Mosley, cornerback Brian Poole and wide receivers Jamison Crowder and Josh Bellamy. They had agreed to terms earlier in the week.

New York also re-signed defensive end Henry Anderson, who tied for the team lead with a careerhigh seven sacks last season.

Mosley signed a five-year, $85 million deal with New York and will be a key piece in defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ unit. The 26-year-old inside linebacker was a four-time Pro Bowl selection during his five seasons in Baltimore.
