Grupe’s NFL Rollercoaster Ends in NY | Indianapolis Colts News

Blake Grupe, the Colts’ kicker who went from battling Spencer Shrader for the starting spot to being scooped up by the Jets off waivers, is now poised to take over as New York’s kicker—before even suiting up. After a stellar run with Indy last season—including a franchise-record 60-yard field goal and going perfect on 21 kicks—he was waived again, only to be claimed by the Jets right after roster cuts. The Jets moved fast, grabbing him ahead of other teams thanks to their high waiver priority. Meanwhile, former Jet Jason Sanders was released earlier in the day after missing key kicks in preseason. Grupe’s quick ascent highlights how fast-moving NFL roster decisions can be, especially when filling those final 53-man spots.
