"Adam Peters has been ultra-aggressive throughout the offseason once again. It's been years since the Commanders had genuine stability at the kicking position. Austin Seibert's exceptional start last season left hope that he could fill the void long-term, but an ill-timed injury put pay to that. Zane Gonzalez was adequate but untrustworthy, which forced Peters into a change of pace when a better option became available."
"Peters gave him the most guaranteed money for any kicker on a one-year deal in NFL history, which was a supreme vote of confidence. But despite a strong effort throughout training camp, doubts have crept in during the preseason. Commanders should monitor Matt Gay's performances closey early in the season Gay's kickoffs haven't been great, but that's the least of Washington's problems. He's also been inaccurate with his field goals, especially from longer range."
Adam Peters pursued upgrades aggressively in the offseason and signed kicker Matt Gay to a one-year deal with record guaranteed money. Gay showed effort in training camp but preseason play revealed concerns about kickoffs and long-range field goal accuracy. Gay missed a preseason field goal but converted a 47-yard attempt, fueling fan doubts about his long-term viability. The Commanders did not hold a kicking competition, and Peters and head coach Dan Quinn expressed confidence in Gay's outlook. Gay faces limited job security among NFL kickers and must improve early in the season.
