It wasn’t pretty for the Tennessee Titans at placekicker last year.
While it wasn’t surprising that the team went through some struggles at the position with Ryan Succop starting the season out on Injured Reserve, it was a little shocking when the starter came back midway through the 2019 season and made just one of his six field goal tries.
He found himself sidelined again in December after he was placed on IR for a second time.
The Titans decided to part ways with Succop on Friday, leaving him looking for his next landing spot.
Here’s a look at three places the kicker could get a fresh start.
1. New York Jets.
Even coach Adam Gase was laughing about how horrendous the Jets’ kicking situation was last year, bringing in player after player as the team tried to find one who could stick and get the job done.
After the Jets let Pro Bowl kicker Jason Myers go in free agency, they tried the legs of players like Kaare Vedvik, with Sam Ficken becoming the team’s fourth kicker signed in a month’s time back in September.
Ficken is still there, but hasn’t proven himself as the long-term answer. Succop could be his competition for the starting job.
