Field Yates reports that the Jets claimed former Vikings K Kaare Vedvik off waivers on Sunday.
Vedvik, 25, wound up signing on with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of Marshall back in May of last year. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $570,000 for the 2019 season.
The Ravens traded Vedvik to the Vikings for a fifth-round pick a few weeks ago, but he was cut loose on Saturday.
During his college career at Marshall, Vedvik converted 10 of 16 field goal attempts (62.5 percent) to go along with 41 of 42 extra point tries (97.6 percent) over the course of 26 games.
