The life of a kicker can be a rollercoaster in the NFL. One minute, you're being cast aside, and the next, you are presented with another massive opportunity when all hope was fading.
That proved to be the case for Matt Gay, who was cut by the Washington Commanders after another dismal outing in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins.
Gay joined the Commanders this offseason, shortly after he was released by the Indianapolis Colts. He received the most guaranteed money for a kicker on a one-year deal in NFL history, but general manager Adam Peters' big wager didn't go according to plan.
