Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean is reporting that the Titans are expected to sign former Chiefs K Ryan Succop to a contract as early as Monday.

It appeared as though the Travis Coons won the team’s kicking job when they parted ways with Maikon Bonani, as they got their roster to 53 players. However, Succop was expected to generate plenty of interest in the coming days, so it looks like the Titans are moving quickly to get him under contract.

Tennessee has been trying to a replacement for long-time kick Rob Bironas since they released him back in March.

Succop, 27, was entering the fourth year of his six-year, $14.48 million contract before the Chiefs cut him loose on Saturday. Kansas City elected to go with the cheaper option in undrafted rookie Cairo Santos.

Last year, Succop converted 78.6 percent of his field goal opportunities, but made just one of four from 50 yards or more.
