KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop can retire that "Mr. Irrelevant" nickname.

The 256th and final pick of the 2009 draft has signed a $14 million, five-year contract extension with Kansas City, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Succop can max it out at $14.675 million if he is voted to the Pro Bowl and the Chiefs make the playoffs every season.

Succop joins a pair of other kickers who signed lucrative five-year extensions. Billy Cundiff signed for $15 million to remain with the Baltimore Ravens in January, while Mason Crosby signed with the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers for $14.75 million in July.

The soft-spoken Succop matched Pete Stoyanovich's franchise record when he hit 22 consecutive field goals earlier this season. The streak put him atop a list of Chiefs kickers that includes Hall of Famer Jan Stenerud, Nick Lowery and Morten Andersen, the NFL's all-time leading scorer.

"I don't necessarily think about all the records," Succop told the AP at the time. "Hopefully I'll be able to go out and make the next one, and if we do that, we'll kick the one after that."

The former South Carolina standout made all four of his field goal attempts in the Chiefs' 19-14 victory over the then-unbeaten Green Bay Packers earlier this season, and he was voted AFC special teams player of the week.

He also hit all five tries in a 22-7 win over Minnesota in Week 4, which matched Stenerud and Lowery for the single-game franchise record. One of them was a career-best 54-yarder.

Succop's 30-yard kick in overtime on Halloween night beat the San Diego Chargers.

His streak of consecutive made field goals ended last week against Oakland, when he had a pair blocked in a loss that eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. But he's still connected on 24 of 29 tries this season, and is perfect on 90 career extra points.

General manager Scott Pioli has not been shy about signing homegrown players.

Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali signed a $60 million, five-year extension during training camp, while cornerback Brandon Flowers signed a $50 million deal, five-year deal.
