Matt Gay kicked for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons, and as it turned out, that was two seasons too many. He was signed in 2023 to a four-year deal worth $22.5 million, the richest ever for a free agent kicker at the time. He wasn't worth the money.
That is something the Washington Commanders found out in their Thursday Night Football loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. After being released by the Colts this offseason, he signed with the Commanders and was supposed to fix their kicking woes.
After all, Washington has a good team.
