We don’t know who the coach will be in Kansas City next season. We do know who will be kicking field goals for the Chiefs.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the team signed kicker Ryan Succop to a five-year, $14 million extension. The deal includes $4 million guaranteed divided between a signing bonus and a guaranteed 2012 salary.

Succop thus becomes one of the more successful “Mr. Irrelevant” picks in recent NFL history.

At least until Tim Toone breaks out.
