Alex Kessman: Time in Big Apple ends

New York waived Kessman on Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Signed by the Jets last week to replace struggling rookie kicker Matt Ammendola, Kessman's dismissal comes as little surprise after he missed both of his two extra-point attempts in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The Jets decided to forgo the point-after try on their next touchdown, leaving Kessman without another chance to redeem himself. Eddy Pineiro was signed in a corresponding move and will take over as the Jets' kicker beginning with the team's Week 14 game against the Saints.
