Slye is on track to open the season as the Patriots' placekicker, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Slye had been competing for the job with 2023 fourth-rounder Chad Ryland, who is set to be waived. With the Commanders last year, Slye made 19 of 24 field-goal tries and 32 of 35 extra-point attempts in 17 regular-season games. Looking ahead, the 28-year-old's fantasy upside will hinge on the performance of a re-tooled New England offense that will at some point transition to rookie Drake Maye at the QB position.
