The Buccaneers have released Succop, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. This past season with Tampa Bay, Succop converted 31 of 38 field-goal attempts (including just two of seven from 50 yards or more) and made 24 of his 25 extra-point tries in 17 games. The 36-year-old -- who spent the last three years with the Buccaneers -- will now look to catch on elsewhere ahead of the coming season, with his fantasy prospects in 2023 hinging on his new team context.

Succop did not attempt a field goal or extra point in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the regular season having made 31 of 38 field-goal attempts and 24 of 25 extra-point tries across 17 games. The Buccaneers went for two points after both touchdowns Monday night thanks to Tampa Bay's sizable deficit, helping lead to Succop's first blanking on the stat sheet since the start of the regular season. The veteran kicker thus didn't get a chance to finish off one of his more inconsistent seasons in positive fashion, one that saw him post his second-lowest field-goal-attempt conversion rate (81.6 percent) since 2013. Succop's biggest problem range was 50-plus yards, as he made just two of seven attempts from that distance. The aging kicker will turn 37 a week into next season, and after facing a stiff test from the much younger Jose Borregales this past summer, it seems a virtual certainty Succop has to battle for his job again in training camp going into what would be the final year of his contract.

Succop drilled a 41-yard field-attempt and both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Succop put together a much-needed perfect performance in the regular-season finale after a nightmarish Week 17 in which he missed three kicks overall versus the Panthers. The veteran kicker finished the regular campaign with an 81.6 percent success rate on field goals that qualifies as his lowest in a full season since 2011, but he could be busy in next Monday night's wild-card showdown against a Cowboys team that tied for fourth-most field-goal attempts per game allowed on the road during the season (2.4).

Succop missed two of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Week 17's 30-24 win over the Panthers. Succop converted from 22 yards but missed field goals from 53 and 26 yards, with the latter attempt blocked. With a missed PAT as well, it was a rough outing for the veteran, who sits just outside the top 10 league-wide in scoring at his position with one game remaining.

Succop connected on field-goal attempts of 38, 35, 42 and 40 yards while also drilling his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 19-16 overtime win over the Cardinals on Sunday night. Succop's 13-point night was a welcome sight after a rough patch that saw him go 1-for-3 on field-goal tries in the prior two games. The four field-goal attempts tied for the second most on the campaign for Succop, and the perfect showing pushed his success rate in that category to 85.3 percent. Succop could be in for another busy afternoon in a key Week 17 divisional home matchup versus the Panthers.
