We’ve known for a week or so that Joey Slye, who had earlier been tendered as a Restricted Free Agent, had signed a 2-year deal worth “up to nearly” $5m.
The #Commanders and K Joey Slye agreed to terms on a 2-year deal worth up to nearly $5M with $2M in guarantees, source said. One of the top kickers, Slye made 92% of his kicks last year & excelled on kickoffs. Now locked in on a deal done by Glenn Schwartzman of @ManagementShark.

I always take the the tweets that use players’ agents as sources with a grain of salt, and the hair on the back of my neck always stands up when I read the words “deal worth up to”, as that number rarely reflects the cap charges that the team will likely face.
