Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Titans locked up Joey Slye at an absolute steal, earning an A+ CVI for what amounts to highway robbery in today's kicker market. At just $2.0M AAV with only $800K guaranteed, Tennessee is paying solid starter production at bargain-basement prices — a remarkable find for a position where reliable legs command premium dollars. Slye's 29-year-old profile sits perfectly in the sweet spot for kickers, old enough to have conquered the mental side of the game but young enough to maintain his leg strength for several more seasons. The one-year structure with minimal guaranteed money gives the Titans incredible flexibility while essentially getting a proven commodity for peanuts, and if Slye continues his solid form, they'll have massive leverage in future negotiations. This is the kind of under-the-radar move that championship teams make — finding genuine value at a crucial position while other franchises overpay for bigger names.

Performance Analysis

Joey Slye grades as a depth piece among NFL kickers — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is field goal accuracy at 80.0% (below the NFL average of 85.0%), ranking as below average for the position.

Fan Sentiment

A sensible, low-risk continuity move that keeps a known commodity on the roster. Multiple outlets covered the re-signing, signaling quiet confidence from Tennessee's front office. Slye's 58-yard field goal capability is the standout selling point justifying his return. Fans are relieved to avoid kicker instability, a historically painful position for the Titans. Slye should handle starting duties adequately, though he's unlikely to become a Pro Bowl-caliber asset.
