Buccaneers sign former Titans K Ryan Succop

Former Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team announced on Tuesday morning.

In a corresponding move, Tampa Bay reportedly waived fellow kicker, Elliot Fry, leaving Matt Gay as Succop’s only competition for the starting job.

Succop was cut by the Titans earlier in the offseason after struggling mightily in 2019. He started off the season on IR and was simply ineffective upon his return, making 1-of-6 kicks. He ultimately landed back on IR, ending his season.

Prior to a lost 2019 season, Succop was one of the more reliable kickers in the league during his tenure in Nashville. In six seasons with the Titans, Succop made 83.6 percent of his attempts and was never below an 83.3 percent success rate in any with Tennessee season before last.

Succop will now have a chance to resurrect his career with Tampa Bay, a team that wasn’t satisfied with what looked like lackluster options for its starting kicker competition.
