Slye, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday, is expected to provide competition for Chad Ryland in New England.
Ryland, 24, made just 64 percent of his field-goal attempts (16 of 25) during his rookie season for the Patriots. He was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Slye didn't spend long in Jacksonville, as he signed with the club on March 18.
Slye, 28, converted 19 of 24 field goals and 32 of 35 extra points in 17 games for the Washington Commanders last season.
He has made 82.3 percent of his field goals and just 88.5 percent of his PATs across five seasons with four teams.
