Overview
- Gay was cut one day after missing 51- and 56-yard attempts in a 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins in Madrid, Washington’s sixth straight defeat to fall to 3-8.
- He went 13-for-19 on field goals this season and 22-for-22 on extra points, with long-range struggles highlighted by a 4-for-9 mark from 50-plus yards.
- Quinn said he and general manager Adam Peters met with Gay on Monday and emphasized the decision was about the bigger picture rather than one game.
- Washington did not announce a corresponding move and is expected to hold tryouts during the bye week to choose a new kicker, with multiple options reportedly under consideration.
- Gay, 31, signed a one-year deal with $4.25 million guaranteed in March and now hits waivers before potentially becoming a free agent.
