The Washington Commanders are making moves at the kicker position by swapping Zane Gonzalez out for Matt Gay.
On Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported that Washington is signing Gay to a one-year contract and releasing Gonzalez.

According to Pelissero, Gay heads to D.C. for a deal worth over $4.25 million guaranteed, which holds the most fully guaranteed money in a one-year contract for a kicker in NFL history.
Gay can earn up to $5 million in incentives, per Pelissero.
The 31-year-old was recently released by the Indianapolis Colts, whom he played with for the last two seasons. In Indy, Gay connected on 82.1 percent of his field goals in 33 games.
Throughout his career, Gay made 85.5 percent of his attempts across 87 games for the Buccaneers, Rams and Colts. The University of Utah product was drafted by Tampa Bay in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Gonzalez, 29, was 31-for-37 in field goal attempts in 2024. Despite six misses from at least 50 yards out, Gonzales made all 33 extra points for Washington.
The seventh-round pick from 2017 leaves Washington after just one season and nine appearances for the Commanders. After getting drafted by the Browns, Gonzalez stayed in Cleveland for two seasons before three seasons in Arizona and one in Carolina.
Gonzalez made 7-of-8 field goals as Washington marched into the NFL playoffs, a run that included an upset over the highly favored Detroit Lions. He contributed 29 postseason points before the team fell to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Ženské finále na MS v pětiboji bude bez české účasti
Hlaváčková obsadila ve své semifinálové skupině desáté místo, tedy první nepostupové. Body ztratila na překážkové dráze, která po olympiádě nahradila parkur a na níž pokazila závěr. Do kombinace běhu a střelby vyrazila ze 14. místa a navzdory posunu pořadím ji od postupu dělilo propastných 12 sekund.„Chyba na překážkové dráze se mi těžce doháněla. Čtyři holky, které jsem v kombi mohla seběhnout, jsem seběhla, ale nestřílela jsem úplně nejlépe. Už v kvalifikaci to nebylo úplně perfektní. Z těch devíti holek, co byly přede mnou, by musel někdo výrazně zachybovat, ale to se nestalo,“ citoval juniorskou vicemistryni světa Havlíčkovou český svaz v tiskové zprávě.Novotná mohla ve své skupině na postup pomýšlet až do závěrečného laser runu, ale nepovedla se jí střelba a obsadila 15. místo. „Když jsem přišla na kombi a viděla jsem, že postup je blízko, trochu mě to vzalo a začala jsem o tom víc přemýšlet a stresovat se.
