The Facts: The Jets have announced that former starting right tackle Breno Giacomini and Folk have been released.

Diehards Line: Folk made 27-of-31 field goal attempts last season and ranks as the second all-time leading scorer in franchise history with 729 points. He made 81 percent of his field goal tries for the Jets from 2010-16. Folk, 32, was due to make $3 million in the one season remaining on his contract. “It’s a sad day, but that’s the business side of things,” Folk told the Jets’ official website. “I had a great seven years here. I think the only thing that would’ve topped it off would’ve been a couple of Super Bowl wins.” Folk will jump into the free agent pool and certainly get a look from some NFL clubs.
