The Washington Commanders are signing Matt Gay to a one-year deal and releasing fellow kicker Zane Gonzalez, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.

Gay’s contract is worth up to $5 million with $4.35 million guaranteed, the most guaranteed money in NFL history for a kicker on a one-year deal, per NFL Network.

The Indianapolis Colts released Gay earlier this month, two seasons into a four-year deal signed in March 2023.

Gay, 31, has converted 85.5 percent of his field-goal attempts (165 of 193) and 96.3 percent of his PATs (206 of 214) in 90 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019), Los Angeles Rams (2020-22) and Colts. He made the Pro Bowl and won a Super Bowl with the Rams during the 2021 season.

The Commanders had a revolving door at kicker during their breakthrough 12-5 campaign in 2024: Austin Seibert kicked in nine games, Gonzalez in six (plus the playoffs) and Greg Joseph and Cade York in one contest each.

Gonzalez, who turns 30 next week, had been out of the NFL since 2021 when he signed with Washington in November. Including the postseason, he made 12 of 15 field goals and 27 of 27 extra points for the Commanders.

Gonzalez had re-signed with Washington on a one-year deal last month.
