Chandler Catanzaro

The move ensures the job belongs to former Panthers K Graham Gano, who reunites with former Carolina GM Dave Gettleman in signing with the Giants just last week. Gano should, in all seriousness, be considered a top-12 kicker for fantasy given OC Jason Garrett's historical timidness inside the 40.

Now 29, Catanzaro "retired" last August. Essentially a replacement-level kicker, Catanzaro has converted 83.8 percent of his career field goal attempts. He could quickly lock down starting duties, though it remains possible the G-Men bring in ex-Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski and reunite him with former Pats ST coordinator Joe Judge. 

Catanzaro has been shaky at best after converting 25 of 30 field-goal attempts (83.3 percent) and each of his 29 PAT tries with the Jets in 2017. Last season, the 28-year-old went 11-for-15 on field-goal attempts (73.3 percent) and 23-for-27 on PAT tries over nine games in Tampa Bay before being cut and taking his game to Carolina, where he made all five of his field goal attempts and converted seven of eight PAT tries. Catanzaro's training camp since re-upping with the Jets had been dissapointing, but the team seemed unwilling to bring in competition.

Catanzaro hasn't had any kicking competition in camp, but this shaky performance could make the Jets rethink that decision. He'll need to be better as the preseason unfolds if he wants a job in the NFL when the regular season rolls around.
