  • Set to compete with veteran kicker
    Ryland is slated to face competition from veteran kicker Joey Slye, who is in line to sign with the Patriots, Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports.

    Advice: Ryland, who the Patriots took in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, is coming off a rookie campaign in which he made just 64 percent of his field-goal attempts (16 of 25). Though the Maryland product has a strong kicking leg, he'll need to display better accuracy in the coming months in order to hold off the challenge presented by the 28-year-old Slye, who connected on 79.2 percent of his field-goal tries with the Commanders last season.

  • Gets opportunity with New England
    Slye has agreed to a deal with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: After being released by the Jaguars earlier this week Slye, it didn't take long for the 28-year-old -- who kicked for the Commanders last year -- to catch on with another team. Now that he's with the Patriots, Slye (who made 19 of his 24 field-goal tries and 32 of his 35 extra-point attempts across 17 regular-season games in 2023) will have an opportunity to compete with 2023 fourth-rounder Chad Ryland, who is coming off an inconsistent rookie campaign for New England.
