Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Set for fourth season as Bucs' kicker
McLaughlin is slated to be Tampa Bay's primary placekicker for the fourth consecutive campaign in 2026.
McLaughlin got limited opportunities early in his career, but he's played in 16 or 17 contests each of the past five years, the last three of which have been with the Bucs. He was incredibly accurate in making 94 percent of his field-goal attempts over his first two regular seasons with the club, and though that rate dropped a bit to 84 percent last year, McLaughlin also hit a career-high 11 field goals from 50-plus yards (on 12 attempts). He'll be in the final year of the three-year contract he inked in 2024, which could give McLaughlin additional incentive to make a big impact with his leg.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Entering contract year
McLaughlin is slated to play out the 2026 season on the final year of his current contract, Logan Robinson and River Wells of SI.com report.
McLaughlin suited up for all 17 regular-season games for Tampa Bay last season and set a new career high in made field goals (32), though he also logged a career-low conversion rate on attempts (84.2 percent). After going 11-for-12 on FG tries from 50-plus yards last season, McLaughlin is a solid candidate to bounce back in terms of accuracy in 2026. If he does, he'll be primed to hit the open market in 2027 as one of the league's top available kickers.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes most FGs of career in 2025-26
McLaughlin went 3-for-4 on FG tries in Saturday's 16-14 win over Carolina and finished the campaign with a career-best 32 field-goal makes on 38 attempts over 17 contests. He also made 32 of 33 extra-point tries.
McLaughlin's lone miss Saturday was blocked, but he accounted for the Buccaneers' final nine points with field goals from 29, 36 and 48 yards out, respectively. His leg helped Tampa Bay notch a close victory to keep the team's playoff hopes alive, but the Bucs were ultimately eliminated when Atlanta beat the Saints on Sunday. McLaughlin's 32 field-goal tries and 38 attempts during the campaign were both career-high marks, though this was the first time he converted fewer than 90 percent of his tries since 2022. Nonetheless, the veteran kicker thrived from long distance, going 11-for-12 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards. McLaughlin is signed through next year, so he'll almost certainly be Tampa Bay's kicker when the team begins the regular season next September.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Kicks one PAT in blowout loss
McLaughlin made his lone extra-point try in the Bucs' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.
Tampa Bay got itself into a massive hole early in this one, and the Bucs were forced to go for it numerous times on fourth downs rather than taking field goals. McLaughlin was, of course, barely used due to the blowout nature of the contest. On the season, the veteran kicker is 20-for-24 on field goals and 21-for-22 on point-after tries.
