Grupe was released by the Colts during roster cutdowns after losing the kicking competition to Spencer Shrader. While Grupe was often steady in training camp practices, he struggled during preseason

games.

After being released, Grupe was claimed on waivers by the Jets.

Grupe joined the Colts during the latter portion of the 2025 season, with Shrader on IR and Michael Badgley struggling. From Week 14 through the end of the year, Grupe was a perfect 10-for-10 on field goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra points.
