The New York Jets signed free agent placekicker Jim Turner. In 7 years with the Jets, Turner made 153 field goals, twice leading the league in field goals made. Turner played his college ball at Utah State where he was much more versatile than a typical kicker, also playing quarterback, defensive back and he was the punter. He got into 1 game as QB for the Jets, relieving Joe Namath in a 29-7 win against the Dolphins, going 2 for 4 for 25 yards.
