Kicker is a position that the Jets struggled to get consistency out of in 2019. The season started with Kaare Vedvik costing New York its Week 1 matchup with the Bills and ended with Sam Ficken proving to be nothing short of inconsistent.

Succop is coming off the worst season of his career, converting only one of his six field goal attempts in between two stints on injured reserve. Succop’s rough 2019 doesn’t mean his leg is out of magic, though. He is only three years removed from a season in which he made 90 percent of his kicks and has been billed as one of the more accurate kickers in the league throughout his career.

Does Succop have at least one more good year of football left in him? It’s worth it for the Jets to find out. The worst-case scenario is they can part ways with him in the summer if things don’t work out.
