Commanders Release Kicker After Sixth Straight Loss

ASHBURN, Virginia — The Washington Commanders have released kicker Matt Gay following the team’s sixth consecutive loss. The announcement came as head coach Dan Quinn addressed reporters on what the team calls “Tell the Truth Monday.”

Gay struggled during the Commanders’ game in Spain, missing two crucial field goals. His inconsistent performance was a concern during his tenure with the team, ultimately leading to his release.

“We need to make every point count, especially in close games,” Quinn said during his press conference. “We felt we needed a change at this position.”

Quinn, who is facing mounting pressure amid the team’s losing streak, discussed the difficulties his squad has encountered. He emphasized the need for improvement and a stronger performance moving forward.

The Commanders will move forward as they prepare for their upcoming game without Gay. The decision highlights the urgency for the team to find reliable players in key positions.

“This is not the end. We are committed to turning this around,” Quinn added. “We have to focus on the next game and take it one step at a time.”
