Zuerlein is slated to sign a two-year, $8.4 million deal to remain with the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 16 regular-season games with New York in 2023, Zuerlein connected on 35 of his 38 field-goal attempts and 15 of his 16 extra-point tries en route to recording 120 points. Looking ahead, the 36-year-old's fantasy upside hinges on the performance of the Jets offense in 2024, The unit figures to be buoyed by the looming return to action of veteran franchise QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles).

Zuerlein made three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
With heavy snow coming down, no kick was easy, so Zuerlein's performance was more than adequate in that context. He connected from 21, 40 and 33 yards but banged a 49-yard attempt off the upright. The miss was only Zuerlein's third on 38 field-goal attempts, and he made 15 of 16 PAT tries in 2023. The 36-year-old kicker will be a free agent this offseason, but the Jets will likely try to re-sign Zuerlein, who has spent the past two seasons with the team on one-year deals.

Zuerlein (quadriceps) made two of three field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Thursday's 37-20 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein connected from 46 yards and 44 yards but had a 31-yard attempt blocked in between. He came into the game nursing a quadriceps injury but played through it. Zuerlein's blocked field-goal attempt was just his second miss in 34 tries heading into the Week 18 season finale against the Patriots.

Zuerlein (quadriceps) is active for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein was deemed a 'DNP' on Tuesday and logged a limited listing Wednesday due to a right quad injury. His status for Thursday Night Football was in some question, but he'll be able to participate in the contest after all. An erratic Jets offense has made it difficult to predict Zuerlein's production of late -- he's made multiple field goals three times in his past four games but also has three games with zero field goals among his past six contests.

Zuerlein (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Cleveland, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein was limited at practice Wednesday, so his availability for Week 17 seems close to a coin-flip proposition. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, the Jets signed Austin Seibert to their practice squad Wednesday as an insurance policy in the event Zuerlein can't play Thursday.

Head coach Robert Saleh said that Zuerlein is dealing with right quadricep soreness coming out of Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders and is uncertain to be available for Thursday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
If Zuerlein's leg was bothering him Sunday, it wasn't apparent in his performance. He converted on all six of his kicks (three field goals, three extra points) in Week 16, including a game-winner from 54 yards out with five seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Zuerlein was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, but he wasn't on the field for Tuesday's walk-through session, according to Al Iannazzone of Newsday. The Jets don't currently have another kicker on their 53-man roster or practice squad, so the team would presumably sign one no later than Wednesday if there's truly any concern about Zuerlein's chances of playing Thursday.

Zuerlein was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a quadriceps injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three PAT attempts in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders. This included his game-winner in the final seconds. However, he apparently came out of the game with a quadriceps issue as well. The veteran's status for Thursday's game against the Browns is now in question. It remains to be seen if New York will add a kicker to its practice squad, which would be a sign that Zuerlein's status is indeed up in the air.

Zuerlein made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three PAT attempts in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein was busy early, connecting on field goals of 25 and 27 yards along with three PATs as the Jets jumped out to a 27-7 halftime lead. His only kick of the second half was Zuerlein's hardest and most important, as it came from 54 yards away and put the Jets ahead 30-28 with five seconds left. Zuerlein's opportunities have been limited by New York's inconsistent offense, but the veteran kicker has been excellent when called upon, with only one missed field goal and one missed PAT on 31 and 14 attempts, respectively.

Zuerlein didn't attempt a kick in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring 30 points in their previous game, the Jets were outscored by 30 in their first shutout loss of 2023, so Zuerlein didn't register an attempt. Starting quarterback Zach Wilson (concussion) left in the first half and was replaced by the ineffective Trevor Siemian. A favorable Week 16 matchup against Washington is up next, but with Wilson's status in doubt, the Jets will continue to have a low floor on offense.

EDGE Analysis
