Ryan Succop, Titans Agree to Multiyear Contract Extension

Kicker Ryan Succop made a career-best 35 field goals for the Tennessee Titans during the 2017 season, and the team rewarded him with a multiyear contract extension Tuesday.

According to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website, the Titans and Succop reached an agreement on a "multiyear contract extension that will keep him with the team in 2018 and beyond. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month."

Succop entered the league as a seventh-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 and played there for the first five seasons of his career. He connected on 81 percent of his field goals in Kansas City and made at least 20 in each of those seasons.

He has played for the Titans the last four years, making 86.5 percent of his field goals during that span and a head-turning 91.7 percent in 2016. Wyatt noted the 136 points he scored in 2017 tied Al Del Greco's 1998 effort for the most in franchise history.

Succop also holds the NFL record for the most field goals made in a row from inside 50 yards with 56, which he set from 2014 through 2017.

He is just 31 years old and theoretically still in the middle of a kicker's prime and will look to build on his career season following this contract extension.
