Tennessee Titans are making a switch at the kicker position. According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Titans signed a veteran Stephen Gostkowski while waiving third-year PK Greg Joseph.
Gostkowski, who spent his entire career with the New England Patriots, has been working out with the Titans for the past couple of days. In Tennessee, the 36-year-old kicker will be coached by Mike Vrabel, with whom he was a teammate in New England.
Titans organized competition at the kicker position during training camp with Joseph and undrafted rookie Tucker McCann eyeing the job. The team, however, wasn’t satisfied with either of the options so they decided to bring in a proven veteran.
Stephen Gostkowski was Pats’ full-time kicker since 2006, and currently holds the franchise’s career scoring record with 1,775 points. During his time in New England, Gostkowski won three Super Bowls, made four Pro Bowl appearances, and received All-Pro honors three times.
Gostkowski’s career stats include making 87.4 percent of his field-goal attempts and 98.3 percent conversion on extra points.
