The Tennessee Titans agreed to sign former New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye on Monday, per Glenn Schwartzman of Shark Sports Management, via NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
This move leaves John Parker Romo as the only kicker on the Patriots' roster.
It also marks another veteran placekicker going from New England to Tennessee. Stephen Gostkowski and Nick Folk ended up in Tennessee at the end of their tenures in New England as well.
Slye went 26-of-33 on field goal attempts last season and made 25-of-26 extra points. One of his highlights of last season was a 63-yard field goal against the San Francisco 49ers. That kick set a new franchise record in New England.
The Patriots making this move means they might consider drafting at the position, or they could always sign another veteran in free agency.
But a clear change is coming at kicker for a third straight season.
