Billy Cundiff signs with the New York Jets
Everyone in New England's favorite kicker has finally found another gig. This time, he'll be even closer to the Patriots, in fact, we might get to see him twice a year.

Of course, Nick Folk is the assumed kicker in New York, but stranger things have happened.
Patriots fans remember Cundiff well as the kicker who gave the team their seventh AFC Championship victory. Cundiff missed a chip shot field goal with 11 seconds left in the AFC Championship game two years ago. He has yet to be back to Foxboro since.
Cundiff has now broken the record for most teams "contracted for" in his career.

Another wrinkle to the Jets-Patriots rivalry? Probably not.
