Jets to release K Santos

Now that Cairo Santos is fully healthy, the kicker will be released by the New York Jets on Wednesday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Santos was informed he would be let go because injuries have made it impossible for the team to get a good look at him in camp.

Santos signed a one-year, $2 million contract that included a $500,000 signing bonus in the offseason. He had groin surgery near the end of the 2017 season.

A recurrence of Santos' groin issue caused the Kansas City Chiefs to release him last season. He signed with the Chicago Bears but the same injury landed him on season-ending injured reserve.

The Jets claimed Jason Myers off of waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday and were scheduled to audition recently released Minnesota Vikings kicker Kai Forbath.
