Succop

The Bucs’ kicker since 2020, 36-year-old Succop converted a good but not elite 82.4 percent of his field goals over the past two seasons. The move creates $3.75 million in cap space. Succop still has enough left in his leg to either earn a new job or become one of the first calls on the workout circuit.

Succop, who is vaccinated, apparently attended an indoor dinner with some Titans players during joint practice. It was his second stay on the COVID-19 list since last December. He was initially put on the lsit on August 24.

He is COVID positive. Succop, who is vaccinated, apparently attended an indoor dinner with some Titans players during joint practice. It is Succop’s second stay on the COVID-19 list after a trip last December. Even though he is vaxxed, Succop will be in for an extended absence. He has 16 days to get cleared for the opener. Succop is a K1.

After an injury-ruined 2019 in Tennessee, Succop landed in Tampa Bay and went on to have a career year, drilling a career-best 90.3% of his field goals and 52-of-57 extra points. Succop will turn 35 later this year and will kick for one of the league’s best offenses.

P Bradley Pinion and LS Zach Triner have also been activated. Per beat writer Rick Stroud, “one turned out to be a false positive and the other two were close contacts.” Succop will be fantasy viable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.

The Bucs’ entire specialist trio of Succop, P Bradley Pinion and LS Zach Triner have landed on the coronavirus list. It is unclear which of the three, if any, are positive. The most likely assumption is that one is positive and the other two are close contacts. Whoever is positive will be ineligible for Sunday’s game against the Falcons, one that will produce fantasy relevance for kickers. Greg Joseph is the next man up for the Bucs.

The soon-to-be 34-year-old (on September 19) was released by the Titans way earlier in the offseason after an injury-marred 2019 that saw him miss the first 10 games of his career. He made just 1-of-6 field goal attempts but 24-of-25 extra points as he battled through knee woes. In Tampa Bay, Succop will put major heat on incumbent Matt Gay while this likely means the end of the Elliott Fry experiment. Succop has never really possessed a huge leg, but he was very reliable prior to last season with a career 82.2% success rate on field goals. Whoever kicks in this offense will have value in kicker leagues.

This was inevitable after Succop hit on just 1-of-6 field goal tries upon being activated from injured reserve. His release frees up $2 million in cap space as the Titans have suddenly shed $11.5 million from their books in cutting Cameron Wake, Dion Lewis, and Succop in the past 48 hours — a blatant attempt to shed room in order to lock up both Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry. Succop will be 34 in September.

Succop was activated off I.R. in early November after starting the season there due to a knee injury. He’s been awful since his return, going just 1-of-6 on field goals but 24-of-25 on extra points. Succop will likely be cut in the offseason, though it’ll be his third year into a five-year deal. The Titans signed K Greg Joseph off the Panthers’ practice squad to replace Succop.

Succop has been on injured reserve this season with a knee injury, but he reportedly looked good in practices and has been given the green light for in-game action. He will kick for Tennessee in Week 9.
