The Jets have signed former Cowboys K Brett Maher to a reserve/future contract, the team announced Tuesday.

Maher, 30, was released by Dallas on Dec. 9. At the time, he led the NFL with 10 missed field goal attempts this season.

Overall in 2019, Maher made 20 of 30 kicks, which included going just 5-for-13 from 40 yards and beyond.

During his two-year NFL career (both with the Cowboys), Maher has a 74.2 percent field goal percentage and has hit 98.6 percent of his point after attempts.

Maher originally signed with the Jets in 2013 as an undrafted free agent.
