The New England Patriots will replace their kicker for the third consecutive season as Joey Slye has signed with the Tennessee Titans. Despite making a franchise-record 63-yard field goal, Slye struggled with consistency, finishing the season with a 78.8% field goal completion rate. Currently, the only kicker on the roster is John Parker Romo, who previously made 11-of-12 attempts with the Vikings but hasn't played in a regular season game for the Patriots. Competition is expected to be added through free agency and the NFL Draft, as the team seeks reliable kicking options.
