Cade York - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Dealing with groin injury York (groin) has not been able to participate in OTAs this week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's unclear if the issue is serious and will require York to miss time beyond this week, though it likely contributed to New York's recent signing of Younghoe Koo, according to Cimini. York signed a one-year deal with the Jets in March after not seeing any regular-season action in 2025.

Who Will Replace Jets K Nick Folk? For Cade York, It's All About the Work LSU Product Has Bounced Around NFL but Has Displayed the Ability to Nail Long-Distance Game-Winning FGs

MARCH 17 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Set to join Jets The Jets have agreed to a one-year deal with York, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact York, who the Browns took in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, didn't see any regular-season action in 2025, but over the course of his pro career, the LSU product had made 33 of his 45 field-goal attempts. With the Jets, York will have an opportunity to fill the void created by the free agent departure of Nick Folk. Also currently in the team's kicking mix is Lenny Krieg.

Cut from practice squad The Saints cut York from the practice squad Thursday.

Impact York's presence as a reserve kicker is no longer necessary for New Orleans, with Charlie Smyth on track to be elevated from the practice squad Week 16. Despite having inked with New Orleans' practice squad late November, York ultimately didn't get a chance to debut for the team. He'll search for an opportunity to compete elsewhere in the league.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be elevated York won't be elevated off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Impact York will remain on the practice squad once again, as Charlie Smyth will continue to serve as the team's kicker. York was initially unable to beat out Smyth in the competition for the kicker spot, but he could take over the role going forward if Smyth struggles versus the Buccaneers.

Won't be elevated York won't be elevated off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

Impact York was unable to win the competition with Charlie Smyth for the team's starting kicker spot and will thus remain on the practice squad. However, if Smyth struggles versus Miami, the Saints could turn to York for their Week 14 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Competing for kicker job York and Charlie Smyth will compete for the Saints' placekicker job, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact The Saints waived Blake Grupe on Tuesday and then added York to the practice squad, where Smyth already resides. Both York and Smyth are known for leg strength more so than accuracy, with York having made just 33 of 45 field-goal attempts (73.3 percent) in his NFL career.

New kicker in NOLA The Saints signed York to their practice squad Tuesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact After Blake Grupe missed his seventh and eighth field-goal attempts of the season in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons, the Saints elected to bring in York and Justin Tucker for kicker tryouts Monday. York made enough of an impression during his workout to earn a spot on the practice squad, and he'll likely be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster in short order to make his Saints debut Sunday in Miami after New Orleans cut Grupe on Tuesday. Over 18 career games in parts of two seasons with stops in Cleveland, Washington and Cincinnati, York has gone 33-for-45 (73.3 percent) on field-goal tries and owns a career long of 59 yards.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes all five kicks vs. Pittsburgh York made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers.

Impact York missed three kicks over his last three games heading into Saturday's regular-season finale, but the third-year kicker was flawless in a must-win game. The Bengals' offense went 1-for-4 on red zone drives, which put York in a position to convert on easier kicks, with three of his four field-goal attempts coming from within 40 yards. He served as Cincinnati's placekicker for the final five games of the regular season due to Evan McPherson (groin) going on IR. Over that span, York went 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether York or McPherson would handle kicking duties in the wild-card round if the Bengals make the playoffs with a Broncos' loss and a Dolphins' loss or tie.

Misses overtime field goal York went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during the Bengals' 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos on Saturday.

Impact York converted on a 22-yard chip shot to close out the Bengals' first offensive drive of the second half. He had a chance to win the game for Cincinnati in overtime, but his 33-yard field-goal attempt clanged the left upright. He has missed a field goal in two straight weeks, and in the four games since taking over for Evan McPherson (groin) as the Bengals' kicker, York has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on extra-point tries. McPherson is eligible to be activated off injured reserve for Cincinnati's regular-season finale against Pittsburgh.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses 47-yard field goal York went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns.

Impact York missed out on an opportunity to put the Bengals up by 10 points late in the first quarter when his 47-yard field-goal attempt missed left. He managed to make up for it when he connected on a 59-yard field-goal try as time expired in the first half to give Cincinnati a 17-point lead. York was signed off the Bengals' practice squad to the active roster this past Tuesday to serve as the staring placekicker until Evan McPherson (groin) returns from injured reserve. In his three games with Cincinnati, York has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries and 10-for-11 on extra-point attempts.

Gets spot on roster The Bengals signed York off their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact York will get a full-time spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster after he had previously been elevated from the practice squad over the last two weeks to handle kicking duties in the wake of Evan McPherson's (groin) move to injured reserve. McPherson is eligible to return in Week 18, but the Bengals are likely to be eliminated from playoff contention before then and are unlikely to rush him back in action for the regular-season finale. Over his first two games as a replacement for McPherson, York has knocked down seven of his eight extra-point tries and has nailed field-goal attempts of 21, 29 and 37 yards.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad York reverted to the Bengals's practice squad Monday.

Impact York made his only field-goal attempt and four-of-five on extra-point tries while filling in for Evan McPherson (groin), who is on injured reserve. York will likely continue to serve as the team's kicker as McPherson will remain sidelined for at least two more weeks.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to kick for CIN in Week 15 The Bengals elevated York from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Impact Evan McPherson (groin) is slated to miss at least three more games while on IR, so York should be able to hold down the team's placekicker role as long as he performs well. Last Monday against Dallas, York made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in a dramatic victory.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad York reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact The kicker was elevated to the active roster for Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys with Evan McPherson out due to a groin injury. York made the most of his opportunity, making both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts. With McPherson on injured reserve until at least Week 18, York looks likely to get another opportunity next Sunday against the Titans.
