Jets waived punter Parrish and LB Mauga, claiming punter Pakulak

On Friday, the New York Jets announced that that they have claimed punter Glenn Pakulak off waivers from New Orleans, and waived punter Ken Parrish and linebacker Josh Mauga, in an attempt to end worries about the team’s punters.

Previously, Parrish was working with Reggie Hodges on the punter, but coach Rex Ryan has said that their performance was not satisfying. Both Parrish and Mauga were signed by the Jets on Aug. 16.

Pakulak was waived the next day by the Saints after he played eight regular-season games for the team. He used to stay with several other NFL teams and play in NFL Europe.
