The New York Jets stir controversy by bringing in veteran kicker Justin Tucker for a workout, raising questions about PR optics and locker room culture amid his declining on-field performance and off-field allegations. With the team trying to shed a troubled reputation and establish a new identity, could Tucker’s presence do more harm than good for the Jets’ future?
Meanwhile, the kicking competition heats up as younger, promising options like Michael Badgley and Josh Hardy are added to the mix, each with NFL experience and potential to push newly-signed Blake Groop for the starting role. As the Jets seek stability at kicker before the regular season, will one of these challengers emerge, or is Groop destined to lock down the job for Week 1 against the Titans?
