Washington Commanders Cut Kicker Matt Gay After Struggles
ASHBURN, VA – The Washington Commanders have released kicker Matt Gay, the team announced today. The move comes after a season plagued by inconsistency for the veteran kicker.
Gay, who signed with the Commanders this year, struggled to find his footing in Washington. He made just 13 of 19 field goal attempts, a dismal 68.4 percent success rate that ranks 32nd out of 34 qualifying kickers across the league. His struggles culminated in a particularly costly performance in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins, where he missed two crucial field goals.
The Commanders are now seeking a replacement for Gay as they look to improve their special teams performance.
Gay, a 2019 fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has previously played for the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams. He will now be a free agent.
