Colts Release Kicker Matt Gay After Two Seasons The Colts made Gay the highest-paid kicker in the league just two years ago.

APRIL 10, 2025 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Released by Indianapolis The Colts released Gay on Thursday.

Impact Gay inked a four-year, $22.5 million deal with Indianapolis in 2023 and was reliable as a kicker from inside 50 in 2024, so his release comes as a surprise. The decision to move on from Gay is seemingly related to the fact that he missed six kicks from 50-plus yards out last year, recording an 80 percent conversion rate on field-goal tries (31 of 37) across 16 regular-season appearances. The transaction leaves Spencer Shrader as the only kicker on the Colts' roster.

Reliable from inside 50 in 2024 Gay connected on 31-of-37 field-goal attempts and all 33 extra-point tries across 16 regular-season games this season.

Impact All six of Gay's misses came from 50 yards or longer. Gay, in his sixth season, made at least 80 percent of his field-goal tries for the fifth year in a row. He has also missed just one extra point in two seasons and 33 regular-season games with the Colts since signing a four-year, $22.5-million deal in 2023.

Colts face big offseason questions after latest inexplicable playoff-eliminating loss

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen answered the questions as best he could after Sunday's latest playoff-eliminating loss

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • Associated Press

Playing without Anthony Richardson, the Colts lose to the Giants and have their playoff hopes end

The Indianapolis Colts had everything to play for against the New York Giants in the penultimate game of the regular season

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • Associated Press

Misses 54-yard field goal Gay went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries during the Colts' 45-33 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Gay got the Colts on the board late in the first quarter with a 32-yard field goal, but he missed his next attempt from 54 yards out early in the second frame. He bounced back with a 29-yard chip shot later in the second quarter, and his next three kicks came on extra-point attempts. Gay is now 27-for-32 on field-goal attempts and 31-for-31 on extra-point tries through 15 regular-season games.

Scores eight points against Titans Gay went 1-for-2 on his field-goal attempts and made all five of his extra-point tries during the Colts' 38-30 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Impact Gay entered Sunday's game with a questionable tag due to a neck injury, but he was cleared during pregame warmups. He connected on a 31-yard field goal late in the second quarter to give the Colts a 10-point lead, but his 55-yard field-goal attempt early in the fourth quarter that would've put Indianapolis up by 19 points sailed right. Gay had gone 10-for-10 on field-goal tries over the Colts' five games prior to Sunday's AFC South clash, and through 14 regular-season contests he's gone 25-for-29 on field-goal attempts and has made all 28 of his extra-point tries.

Active versus Titans Gay, who had been listed as questionable with a neck injury, is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact After not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, Gay practiced fully Friday, setting the stage for the kicker to be available for Sunday's contest. In 13 games this season, Gay has recorded 95 points, while connecting on 24 of his 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries, a pace that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues ahead of the next wave of Week 16 action.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 16 Gay (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact After logging a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Gay was able to practice fully Friday, suggesting he's looking good for Sunday. After a down 2023 season in which he made just 80.5 percent of his field-goal attempts, Gay has righted the ship again this season, making 24 of 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries. The Colts don't currently employ another kicker.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Gay (neck) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Gay has now logged consecutive DNPs to start the week due to a neck injury he may have picked up during the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Broncos. If the Colts sign a placekicker to the practice squad, that would indicate that Gay is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Sunday's game against the Titans.
