Special teams player Irv Charles is going from the last-place New York Jets to the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, it was announced on Wednesday.
Charles, 29, was traded for a 2028 conditional seventh-round pick.
The Seahawks waived wide receiver Trayvon Rudolph to make room for Charles.
The Jets will fill the roster spot with veteran kicker Younghoe Koo, who agreed to terms Wednesday, a source said. Koo, 31, who has eight seasons of experience (mostly with the Atlanta Falcons), joins Cade York and Lenny Kreig in the kicking competition. They’re looking to replace Nick Folk, who signed with the Falcons as a free agent. Koo had a viral moment last season with the New York Giants, when he kicked the turf, not the ball, on a botched field-goal attempt.
Charles had fallen off the radar after missing the 2025 season as he recovered from ACL surgery. He was a standout special teams player in 2024 but injured his knee in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins. His chances of making the Jets’ roster this season were unlikely.
