It didn't take long for the Patriots to find their Mike Nugent replacement.
Hours after parting ways with Nugent, New England signed ex-Jets kicker Nick Folk as his replacement according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Folk's most recent full season came in 2016 with New York, when the 34-year-old was 27-of-32 for field goal attempts and 24-of-26 for extra points.
In 2017 with the Buccaneers, Folk went 6-of-11 in field goals and 7-of-9 in extra points in four games. His last game, coincidentally, came in October of that season against the Patriots when he missed three field goals.
Nugent, who was signed in earlier this month to fill in for the injured Stephen Gostkowski, went 5-of-8 in field goals and 15-of-16 in extra points in four games with New England.
