Hardly any team had quite the problem the Tennessee Titans had at placekicker last year.
And as the team has begun releasing players this offseason, veteran Ryan Succop is among the latest the Titans will reportedly part ways with.
#Titans are releasing veteran kicker Ryan Succop.

The 33-year-old made just one of his six field goal tries after coming off Injured Reserve halfway through the 2019 season, and found himself sidelined again in December after he was placed on IR for a second time.
His 2020 salary was set to be $4.1 million, and the dead cap hit is $2.1 million, so this saves the Titans $2 million.
The move isn’t exactly unexpected, as the Titans signed former Cleveland Browns kicker Greg Joseph, who was used in the postseason, to a three-year deal.
There’s a chance the Titans bring in another kicker to compete with him in camp, though, as he only attempted one field goal in his short time in Tennessee.
With the moves to cut Succop, Cameron Wake and Dion Lewis, the Titans have now opened up roughly $11.5 million extra to use this offseason.
