TAMPA, Fla. ― The player who steadied the Bucs’ poor history of wayward kickers is moving on.
Ryan Succop, who ended a failed parade of drafted placekickers, such as Roberto Aguayo and Matt Gay, has been released in a move that will save the Bucs $3.75 million on the salary cap.
Succop, 36, had one year remaining on his contract that was not guaranteed and was coming off his worst season with the Bucs, connecting on only 81.6 percent of his field goal attempts.
