Slye agreed to a contract with the Titans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The well-traveled Slye will catch on with an eighth different organization since going undrafted out of Virginia Tech in 2018. After being cut by the Jaguars last spring, Slye quickly caught on with New England on a one-year deal and emerged as the victor over Chad Ryland in the battle for kicking duties during training camp and the preseason. Slye proceeded to play in all 17 of New England's games in 2024, converting 26 of 33 field-goal attempts and 25 of 26 extra-point tries. The 28-year-old currently is the only kicker on the Titans roster, but the team will almost certainly add some competition before training camp.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Finishes 2024 strong
Rotowire
Slye made all three of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts during the Patriots' 23-16 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Slye hadn't attempted a field goal in the Patriots' last two games entering Week 18, but he was kept busy Sunday as backup quarterback Joe Milton led New England on five scoring drives. All three of Slye's field-goal attempts came in the second half, with his 43 and 50-yard field goals in the fourth quarter extending the Patriots' lead. Slye will finish the 2024 regular season having made 26 of 33 field-goal attempts (78.8 percent) and 25 of 26 extra-point tries. He signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in May of 2024 and will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Makes lone extra-point attempt
Rotowire
Slye converted on his lone extra-point try during the Patriots' 40-7 loss to the Chargers on Saturday.
It was another quiet day for Slye as the Patriots' offense struggled to move the ball down the field and was limited to 181 yards against a stout Chargers defense. Slye hasn't attempted a field goal over his last two games, and through 16 regular-season games he's gone 23-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 23-for-24 on extra-point tries.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Limited to extra points
Rotowire
Slye converted all three of his extra-point attempts in New England's 24-21 loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
Slye did not attempt a field goal Sunday for just the second time this season as all three of the Patriots' scoring drives resulted in touchdowns. Slye was a fairly accurate kicker through the first 11 games of the regular season, going 19-for-22 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-16 on extra-point tries over that span. He's made all seven of his extra-point attempts in his last four games, but across that span he's also gone 4-for-8 on field-goal attempts, with two of those misses coming from within 50 yards. Slye and the Patriots head back to New England for Week 17 to host the Chargers on Saturday.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Struggles continue Sunday
Rotowire
Slye made one of his two field-goal tries and converted both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-17 loss at Arizona.
On the Patriots' first drive of the game, Slye hooked a 53-yard attempt wide to the left and extended his streak of games with at least one missed kick to four. Even when New England's sluggish offense has moved the ball this season, he's been inconsistent, making him an unappealing option for what remains of the fantasy playoffs.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Misses two FGAs in loss
Rotowire
Slye went 3-for-5 on field-goal tries while making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts.
Slye began his day with three straight field-goal makes from 35 yards, 31 yards and 54 yards versus Indianapolis. He then missed a chip-shot 25-yarder on the team's final possession of the first half before later missing a nearly impossible 68-yard attempt to end the game. The kicker has now made 22 of 28 field-goal tries while going 17-for-18 on PATs in 2024.
Slye missed his only field-goal attempt but converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 34-15 loss at Miami.
Slye's only shot at a field goal in Week 12 came towards the end of the first quarter, and he drove the 45-yard kick off the right upright. He has now missed a kick in three of his last four games heading into a Week 13 matchup versus the Colts.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Hits three field goals in loss
Rotowire
Slye went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and made one of two PATs in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Slye made multiple field goals for the second straight week after going five straight weeks without doing so prior. His longest make of the day came from 42 yards, while he did miss an extra-point attempt for the first time this year. Through 11 contests, the kicker has gone 19-for-22 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-16 on PATs.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Perfect versus Bears
Rotowire
Slye made all four of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during New England's 19-3 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Slye was perfect through all five of his kicks during Sunday's victory, and he outscored Chicago's entire team. He will look to build off this performance during the team's Week 11 matchup versus the Rams.
Slye made one of his two field-goal tries and converted both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss at Tennessee.
Both of Slye's field-goal tries in Week 9 came from longer than 50 yards out, a tough ask for any kicker. But after such a close loss, the Patriots will probably look back on the 56-yarder he missed in the first quarter as a squandered opportunity. New England's struggling offense will get another stiff test in Week 10 at Chicago.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Quiet day in Week 8 win
Rotowire
Slye made his only field-goal attempt and converted on both extra-point tries in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Slye was successful on a 23-yard chip shot in the fourth quarter, which gave the Patriots a one-point lead with 7:36 left to play in the game. Slye is now 11-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries through the first seven games of the regular season.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Not heavily involved in loss
Rotowire
Slye made his only field-goal try and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars.
Slye's 41-yarder early in the second quarter put the Patriots up 10-0, but momentum quickly swung in Jacksonville's favor afterwards, leaving Slye without any further scoring chances. Though New England's office has improved since Drake Maye took over as starter, it remains one of the worst in the league by many metrics so far this season, rendering Slye non-viable in most fantasy formats.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Not a big factor Sunday
Rotowire
Slye made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-21 loss versus the Texans.
Slye did not attempt any field-goal attempts for the first time this season. However, New England looked improved on offense with rookie Drake Maye under center, and if that's sustained, it could provide a boost to Slye's fantasy value in the long run.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Nails long field goal
Rotowire
Slye made his lone extra-point try and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.
Slye's performance came in a losing effort, but it was impressive nonetheless. Before making a 54-yard attempt in the fourth quarter, the Virginia Tech product successfully hit a 63-yard try going into halftime, a kick that qualifies as the fourth-longest made field goal in NFL history and the second-longest field goal in an outdoor setting.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Converts only FG attempt Week 3
Rotowire
Slye made his only field-goal try and didn't attempt any extra points in last Thursday's Week 3 loss to the Jets.
Slye accounted for New England's only points in the defeat with a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter. The veteran kicker has gone 6-for-7 in field-goal tries through three weeks, with his only miss being a 48-yard attempt that was blocked. Though the Patriots are averaging only 13.0 points this season, Slye has managed to maintain moderate productivity since the team has struggled to score TDs when managing to get into the red zone.

Rotowire
Slye made both of his extra-point tries but missed one of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Slye hit early from 29 and 28 yards, respectively. However, with the Patriots leading 20-17 and four minutes to go in the game, he had a 48-yard attempt blocked, keeping the Seahawks within a field goal. Jason Myers kicked a field goal for Seattle with less than a minute to go, and New England ultimately lost in overtime. Slye and the Patriots will travel to New York for Week 3 with a game against the Jets on Thursday.

Joey Slye: Replaced by rookie
Rotowire
The Jaguars released Slye on Tuesday.
Slye inked with Jacksonville as a free agent back in March, but he's now lost his spot on the roster to rookie sixth-round pick Cam Little. Meanwhile, Riley Patterson remains with the Jaguars as potential offseason competition for Little. Slye converted 19 of 24 field-goal tries and 32 of 35 extra-point attempts across 17 games with Washington last season.

Jaguars' Joey Slye: Signing with Jacksonville
Rotowire
Slye is signing a one-year contract with the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Jags and Commanders now have swapped kickers, after Brandon McManus signed with Washington last week. The difference is that McManus figures to essentially be handed a starting job, whereas Slye is less proven and may have to compete with reserve/future signee Riley Patterson. Slye's career field-goal percentage (82.3) and PAT percentage (88.5) both are subpar by modern standards, though he does have a strong leg and has made 20 of 32 tries from 50-plus yards in his career.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Makes field-goal attempt in defeat
Rotowire
Slye made a field goal and an extra point in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Cowboys.
Slye's lone field goal came from 36 yards out, bringing his tally to 19-for-24 on the season (79 percent). The Virginia Tech product didn't see much work this season, with 28 other kickers seeing more FGAs. The 27-year-old is set to be a free agent this offseason after signing a two-year contract with the Commanders in April 2022.
