Washington Free Agency: Kicker Joey Slye tendered

Related Topics: Joey Slye, Washington, Dustin Hopkins

The Washington Commanders had some kicker controversy last season after they released long-time kicker Dustin Hopkins. He was replaced by Chris Blewitt who shockingly lived up to his last name. This mistake was corrected with Blewitt’s release and the signing of former Panthers kicker Joey Slye. He brought a strong leg and consistency to the position. His only missed kick of the season, also ended up being the one that injured him. An extra point was blocked and the Seahawks returned it for 2 points. Slye chased the defender down and injured his hamstring. He was placed on injured reserve and missed 3 games.
