Buccaneers re-signed K Chase McLaughlin to a three-year contract.
The Bucs brought in McLaughin to replace former long-time kicker Ryan Succop. In his lone season with the team, McLaughlin converted 29-of-31 field goal attempts and nailed 100 percent of his extra points. Now under contract through the 2026 season, McLaughlin is just the latest Buccaneer to re-up with the team in hopes of winning their fourth-straight NFC South title.
Buccaneers signed K Chase McLaughlin, formerly of the Colts.
McLaughlin made 30-of-36 field goals for Indianapolis last year without missing an extra point, and has played 16 games in each of the last two seasons despite playing for five different teams between 2019 and 2020. He'll be Tampa's replacement for Ryan Succop at kicker after they moved on from Succop to save cap space.
Colts elevated K Chase McLaughlin from the practice squad.
He will kick Sunday against the Jags with the Colts operating as three-point road favorites in a 45-totaled affair. After starting for the Browns in 2021, McLaughlin was eventually released after the team drafted Cade York out of LSU in the 2022 draft. He then lost the preseason kicker battle in Indianapolis to recently released kicker Rodrigo Blankenship but gets a fresh start with the recent transaction. McLaughlin struggled in 2021 with the Browns, missing 6-of-10 field goal attempts between 40-49 yards. Consider McLaughlin nothing more than a low end streaming option in deep leagues that still include kickers.
Browns released K Chase McLaughlin.
The Browns also released kicker Chris Blewitt. After drafting LSU kicker Cade York in the fourth round, the team had no plans of holding a kick-off in training camp. York joins a team that should be an elite offense in 2022, making him an intriguing fantasy option for leagues that still utilize the kicker position.
