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.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Misses one in loss
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.

Rotowire
Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted on his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.
All three of Slye's field-goal attempts Sunday were within 40 yards. His longest came from 37 yards out in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a nine-point lead. Slye will look to continue his perfect season in Week 2 against the Jets on Thursday.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Gets opportunity with New England
Rotowire
Slye has agreed to a deal with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
After being released by the Jaguars earlier this week, it didn't take long for the 28-year-old to catch on with another team. With the Commanders last year, he made 19 of his 24 field-goal tries and 32 of his 35 extra-point attempts across 17 regular-season games. Now that he's with the Patriots, Slye will have an opportunity to compete with 2023 fourth-rounder Chad Ryland, who is coming off an inconsistent rookie campaign for New England.

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.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Again held without a field goal
Rotowire
Slye did not attempt a field goal and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Jets.
Slye is on a three-game streak without a field goal, a pattern that would be concerning even if Washington wasn't finishing out the regular season with two difficult defensive matchups against the 49ers and Cowboys. Through 15 games this season, Slye has made just 17 of 22 field-goal tries for a career-worst 77 percent conversion rate.

Commanders' Joey Slye: No field goals again
Rotowire
Slye did not attempt a field goal and made two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.
Syle has now gone two straight games without a field goal after he missed his lone attempt in the Commanders' previous game against the Dolphins. The veteran kicker has just 22 FGAs on the season, converting 17 of those (77.0 percent success rate). His PAT miss Sunday was his third of the season on 29 attempts. Next up for Syle and Washington is a Week 16 matchup with the Jets.
Slye missed his only field-goal attempt but converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 45-15 loss versus the Dolphins.
Washington's offense was only able to log 245 total yards in Week 13, so Slye's opportunities to kick were predictably few and far between. His only chance at a field goal didn't come until the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach, and he pushed the 53-yard attempt wide right. After a bye in Week 14, the Commanders will travel to take on a middling Rams defense.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Knocks down only field goal in loss
Rotowire
Slye converted on a 43-yard field-goal try and his lone extra-point attempt during Thursday's 45-10 loss to Dallas.
Slye wasn't presented many scoring opportunities in Thursday's blowout loss, with the Commanders finding themselves trailing significantly from an early stage. Washington's offense will look to get back on track versus the Dolphins in Week 13, though Miami's defense has notably improved of late.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Perfect in close win
Rotowire
Slye converted both of his two field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win at New England.
None of his kicks approached the range of the 61-yarder he made in Week 8, but Slye did enough in Week 9 to help Washington secure the win. In Week 10, the Commanders offense draws a favorable matchup against a below-average Seattle defense.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Has chip shot blocked Sunday
Rotowire
Slye failed to convert his only field-goal attempt but made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 14-7 loss at the Giants.
On a day where Washington struggled to get much of anything going offensively, Slye was only called out for one field-goal try. Leonard Williams rose up to block the 27-yarder early in the fourth quarter to maintain the Giants' touchdown advantage. The Commanders figure to be heavy underdogs in Week 8 versus Philadelphia, capping fantasy expectations for Slye in that contest.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Gets job done in win
Rotowire
Slye made his only field-goal attempt and all of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-16 win at Atlanta.
Slye's toughest task of the day was a 37-yard field goal after the first drive of the game, and he drove it dead center between the uprights. He has struggled somewhat on longer kicks through six games this season, but that might not matter much when Washington travels to take on a weak Giants defense in Week 7.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Rocky performance
Rotowire
Slye connected on all three of his extra-point tries, but he missed two of his four field-goal attempts in a 35-33 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Syle missed wide right on his first FGA from 49 yards out on the team's opening drive. However, the 27-year-old recovered to connect from 44 and then from 49 yards to close out the first half. His last attempt and second miss came from 59 yards halfway through the third quarter with the game tied at 21. His next opportunities will come Week 3 against the Bills.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Accurate in victory
Rotowire
Slye converted both his two field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-16 win over Arizona.
Slye did everything Washington asked of him in Week 1 and got off to a perfect start to the 2023 season after winning the starting job in August. In Week 2, the Commanders will travel to the Mile High City to take on Denver, a good kicking environment historically. The bad news for Slye is the Commanders will be coming in as underdogs to face a defense that allowed just 17 points in Week 1.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Likely starter for Washington
Rotowire
Slye is the only kicker on the Commanders' roster after the team released Michael Badgley on Sunday.
Slye appeared in all 17 games for Washington last season after he originally joined the team in November of 2021. The Commanders' starting kicker job appeared to be up for grabs this preseason after the Commanders signed Badgley in May, though it looks like Slye did enough to retain this role instead. The 27-year-old converted 37 of his 42 field-goal attempts and went 33-for-38 on PATs over 23 regular-season contests with Washington, and he's entering the final season of a two-year contract.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Makes only field goal in Week 17
Rotowire
Slye made one field goal and one PAT during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Slye was able to convert an extra-point attempt in the first half before later adding a 43-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The kicker has had limited opportunities in recent weeks, going 3-for-3 on field goals over his last three games. After struggling to maintain a roster spot in 2021, Slye has earned a look moving forward after he's converted 23 out of 26 field-goal tries over 16 games with the Commanders this season.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Quiet outing in loss
Rotowire
Slye made both of his extra-point tries during Saturday's 37-20 loss against the 49ers.
Slye didn't garner a field-goal attempt for the first time since Week 3 and was held to just two PATs, as Washington opted to go for two after its final touchdown in the fourth quarter. Coming into the contest, Slye had made 22 of 25 field goals and 16 of 18 extra-point tries over his past 11 appearances, so his lack of opportunities Saturday can likely be chalked up to a tough matchup against the surging 49ers. The veteran kicker will look to get back on track against the Browns in Week 17.
