The signing was confirmed by sources, with Connor Hughes of SNY cited as the reporter who first broke the news.

The SNY report was updated May 27, 2026, at 6:52 p.m., validating the signing details.

The Jets’ signing comes after they traded Irv Charles to the Seattle Seahawks.

MetLife Stadium hosts both the Giants and Jets, who compete in different conferences, and SNY first reported the Jets’ signing with confirmation from the Associated Press.

AP sources noted the signing on condition of anonymity because the Jets had not officially announced it, with SNY as the first outlet to report the development.

Koo had previously tried out for the Saints at their rookie minicamp before getting another opportunity with the Jets in 2026.

The Jets had not publicly announced the move at the time of reporting, per AP anonymity and SNY’s early coverage.

At 31, Koo enters the Jets hoping to revive his career after a downturn over the past two seasons.

The Jets signed Koo to compete for the kicking job, with last season’s starter Nick Folk having signed with the Falcons, and Koo previously competing for the Giants’ kicking duties after a stint with the Giants.

Koo is a Pro Bowler from the 2020 season and owns career totals of 185 of 217 on field goals and 186 of 194 on extra points.

He is remembered for a notable missed field goal on Monday Night Football against the Patriots, where the ball was kicked into the ground before contact.

York joined in March and Krieg came on a futures deal in January, while Will Ferrin was waived earlier in the month as part of roster moves.
