Veteran free-agent kicker Joey Slye signed with the New England Patriots on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The 28-year-old signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars at the start of free agency on March 18 but was released just over a month later after the team drafted former Arkansas kicker Cam Little in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Since entering the league in 2018 as an undrafted free agent, Slye has spent time with the New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers, and Jaguars. In 75 career games, he has connected on 121 of his 147 field goal attempts and 138 of his 156 extra-point tries. He will likely compete with Chad Ryland for the starting place-kicking duties for New England this offseason.
The Jacksonville Jaguars released kicker Joey Slye on Tuesday. The Jaguars signed Slye in free agency in March, but he's now a free agent after the team selected kicker Cam Little in the sixth round of this year's NFL draft. Little and Riley Patterson figure to compete for the starting kicking duties in Jacksonville this summer in training camp. The 28-year-old Slye will now look for work elsewhere after making 79.2 percent of his 24 field-goal attempts over 17 games with the Washington Commanders in 2023. He also made 32 of his 35 extra-point attempts. For his career, Slye has made 82.3 percent of his field-goal attempts while making 88.5 percent of his extra points in five NFL seasons with the Commanders, Panthers, Texans and 49ers.
Washington Commanders free-agent kicker Joey Slye signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, according to a source. The Jaguars initially were reported to have signed Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz this offseason, but that turned out to be false and Lutz re-signed with the Broncos. The Jaguars also have Riley Patterson, who they signed to a futures deal, so Slye and Patterson figure to be in competition for the primary kicking gig in Jacksonville in training camp this summer. The 27-year-old Slye has made only 82.3% of his field-goal attempts in five seasons in the NFL. In 17 games for the Commanders last year, he went 19-for-24 on field goals and 32-for-35 on his extra-point tries. Fantasy managers will be able to find better options at the position.
Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye drilled four field goals in Monday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Slye was perfect on his attempts as he hit a 44-yarder, a 58-yarder, a 32-yarder, and a 55-yarder to help his team take down their previously undefeated division rival. As a result of the team's lack of offensive production, the fourth-year kicker hasn't been relevant often this season. If the Commanders use this performance as a launching point for their offense, Slye could hold some value in the near future as they take on the Houston Texans in Week 11.
Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye made two of his three field goals in Thursday's 12-7 win over the Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old made his first attempt from 38 yards at the end of the second quarter and later drilled a 28-yard attempt during the fourth quarter to put the Commanders within one point. However, the former Carolina Panther missed one badly from 48 yards out near the end of the game. Slye has not been a kicker worth considering as a fantasy streamer, as his three most recent attempts were just his fifth of the year. With this Washington offense continuing to struggle and scoring attempts becoming increasingly rare, Slye shouldn't be considered a streamer any time soon.
Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye made one out of two field goals in Thursday's win over the Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old made his first attempt from 38 yards at the end of the second quarter, but missed his next one badly from 48 yards out near the end of the game. Slye has not been a kicker worth considering as a fantasy streamer as his two most recent attempts were just his third and fourth of the year. With this Washington offense continuing to struggle, and scoring attempts becoming increasingly rare, Slye shouldn't be considered a streamer any time soon.
Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye has agreed to a two-year deal with the organization. The deal is reportedly worth $5 million with $2 million incentives included. Clearly, Washington liked what they saw from Slye during his six games with the team. He knocked down all 12 of his field goal attempts and all ten of his extra points while in Washington. The 26-year-old bounced around a bit last season, but hopefully has found a home in Washington.
The Washington Commanders issued a restricted free-agent tender to kicker Joey Slye worth $2.4 million on Wednesday, according to a source. Slye will be back with Washington in 2022 after spending last year with the Commanders, Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers. In his six games in D.C., he made all 12 of his field-goal tries and missed just one of 10 extra-point attempts. In total, Slye went 23-for-25 on field goals and 18-for-22 on extra points in 12 games in 2021. The 25-year-old spent his first two years in the league kicking for the Carolina Panthers. Slye has made 82.8% of his 93 field-goal attempts in three seasons, and fantasy managers should be able to find better starting options to begin the year.
Washington Football Team kicker Joey Slye was perfect on his three field-goal attempts in Week 17, while also making his only extra-point attempt in the ball game. He was able to convert a 55-yard attempt, which was his second-longest of the season. He has been able to find a groove since joining Washington, as he is yet to miss a field goal since joining the team. He has proved to be a reliable option when called upon, so he will be a solid option in Week 18.
Washington Football Team kicker Joey Slye will look to continue his solid play since joining the team in Week 10. After missing three games with a hamstring injury, Slye returned to action and made two extra-point attempts, as he wasn't called upon to kick any field goals in what was a blowout loss to the Cowboys. He figures to get a chance to produce in this one, and he has been reliable when asked to do so. Given the fact he hasn't missed an attempt since joining Washington is enough to consider him in starting lineups this week.
