The Washington Commanders' core specialists — place kicker, punter, and long snapper — would seem locked in as the team enters training camp.
Then again, around this time last year, you could have said the same thing. But the club released presumptive kicker Brandon McManus after allegations of sexual assault surfaced.
The McManus affair sent general manager Adam Peters on a season-long quest to find a reliable kicker. Washington did get some clutch field goals from both Austin Seibert and Zane Gonzalez, but the general manager still felt he could do better.
He got that chance when the Indianapolis Colts released Matt Gay.
