Eh....he's made roughly $1 mil in his NFL career, so after taxes he has enough to sit around for a while....but not forever. 

Yup, I wasn't suggesting he retired, but instead took a year out and came back refreshed.

Who knows, he may get back in earlier than that.

I suspect he'll bounce around the league getting some spot duty for a couple of years and then that will be it for his NFL career.

He was just released.

Not even really joking but if he cares about kicking maybe he should change his physique.  It seems it could lend itself to being more fluid .

@GoobyPls is gonna poo a brick. Good luck with your new team, bruh!

If Slye goes on the practice squad, like Butker did, he will be on another team very quickly. Hell it might even be the Jets week 1 (which would be awesome because Slye wouldn’t have cured his yips that fast)

No chance. 

Butker entered the league via the practice squad...

Slip&Slyed is a 32 game vet with the yips --- completely different animal.

I wish it would have worked out here  but I hope good things come for him somewhere else. 

I think Panthers made the tough but right call.

It’s be one thing if Smith was speaking for himself but it’s almost seems like he’s relishing Slye’s yips. just feels wrong from an official Panthers announcer. Everyone can see it, no reason to rub it in. 

We should really take more feelings into consideration.  I think more sensitivity could really take this game to the next level.  #hugsnothits
