The negotiating window period begins on March 9th, but the Titans are able to re-sign their own free agents before then. General manager Mike Borgonzi is equipped with more than $100 million in cap space and will collaborate with new head coach Robert Saleh on their shared vision for the 2026 Titans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Titans are currently scheduled to possess 29 free agents (19 unrestricted), including several key starters and role players. Over the next few weeks, we\u2019ll take an in-depth look at each free agent and provide arguments for why the Titans should, or shouldn\u2019t re-sign that player. We\u2019ll also offer our final verdict and a prediction to go along with our analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Today, we\u2019re analyzing kicker Joey Slye.<\/p>\n<p>Why the Titans should re-sign Slye<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Slye displayed a strong leg for the Titans. The former undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech connected on a career-high nine field goals from distance (50-plus yards), often keeping the Titans\u2019 anemic offense in games early. Slye had the offense in scoring position every time they crossed the 50.<\/p>\n<p>Why the Titans should let Slye walk<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Overall, Slye connected on just 28-of-35 field goal attempts and his accuracy worsened as the season progressed. His 80% percentage tied for 25th-best in the NFL among kickers who attempted 25-or-more field goals. That\u2019s rather average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Spotrac does not have a projected contract for Slye. He signed a one-year, $1,295,000 million contract with the Titans last offseason. An extension would probably be in a similar range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Titans special teams coordinator John \u201cBones\u201d Fassel played a sizable role in signing Slye last offseason. Saleh made the wise decision to retain Fassel on his new coaching staff. That probably improves Slye\u2019s chances of returning to the Titans in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Titans re-sign Slye to another one-year contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to Music City Miracles\u2019 Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Free Agency Primer!
