Younghoe Koo: Let go by Gang Green
The Jets cut Koo on Wednesday.
Koo inked with New York in late May but appears to have struggled during his brief stint at OTAs, and the team has now signed a replacement option in Jason Sanders to compete with Cade York (groin). Across six regular-season appearances between the Giants and Falcons in 2025, Koo converted six of nine field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra-point tries. He will now search for a chance to compete elsewhere during the offseason.

Jets' Younghoe Koo: Signing with Jets
The Jets are slated to sign Koo, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Koo spent time with the Falcons, his original NFL team, as well as the Giants in 2025, combining to make six of nine field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra-point tries in six regular-season games (one with Atlanta and five with New York). With the Jets, the 31-year-old will have a chance to compete for kicking duties with Cade York and Lenny Krieg.

Younghoe Koo: Cut loose by Giants
The Giants waived Koo on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
After being cut by the Falcons following Week 1, Koo has now been booted off a team's roster for the second time this season following another erratic kicking performance. In Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders, Koo knocked down all three of his point-after tries but failed to connect on field goals from 52 and 51 yards, with both attempts missing by fair margins. Altogether, Koo missed three kicks (two field goals, one extra point) on 18 attempts during his five-game run as New York's kicker. The Giants are expected to elevate or sign Ben Sauls off the practice squad to take over as their new kicker beginning with this Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Giants' Younghoe Koo: Misses both FGAs vs. Washington
Koo missed both of his field-goal attempts and went 3-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Giants' 29-21 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Both of Koo's field-goal attempts Sunday came from 50-plus yards and both missed to the left. It was Koo's first field-goal misses in five games with the Giants, and he's now 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-12 on extra-point tries with New York.

Giants' Younghoe Koo: Flubs potential FG attempt in loss
Koo made his only extra-point try and didn't technically attempt a field goal in Monday's Week 13 loss to the Patriots.
Koo was called upon to attempt a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he stubbed his foot into the ground before making the contact with the ball, leaving holder Jamie Gillian out to dry on a play that went into the box score as a 13-yard loss rather than a FG try. That botched play was emblematic of the Giants performance as a whole in a game during which they were never competitive, and perhaps of the team's season as a whole, as New York has dealt with inexplicable mistakes and collapses multiple times en route to a 2-11 record. As for Koo, he's ironically still perfect on FG attempts since joining the Giants -- at least in official recordkeeping -- as he's gone 4-for-4 in that category along with 8-for-9 on PATs.
