UNDATED (AP) — The Washington Commanders have re-signed kicker Joey Slye. The team announced the deal Monday. A person with knowledge of the move tells The Associated Press it’s a two-year deal that could be worth up to $5 million with $2 million guaranteed.

Slye was a perfect 12 of 12 on field goals and made nine of 10 extra points with Washington last season. Washington was his third team in 2021 after bouncing around the NFL from Houston to San Francisco. The 26-year-old found a groove despite missing four games with a hamstring injury.

Elsewhere in the NFL:

— The Jacksonville Jaguars waived linebacker Dylan Moses as players reported for the team’s voluntary offseason workout program. Moses signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted rookie from Alabama in 2021. He spent all of last season on the non-football injury list after undergoing knee surgery in February 2021.

— Gary Brown, who rushed for 4,300 yards while playing on three NFL teams in the 1990s before going on to coach running backs in the pro and college ranks, has died. He was 52. Brown had coached Wisconsin’s running backs last season before departing for health-related reasons. He coached the Cowboys’ running backs from 2013-19.
