When the Indianapolis Colts signed kicker Matt Gay during free agency last offseason, he was among the five most accurate kickers in NFL history. After a peculiar 2023 campaign filled with sensational highs and tantalizing lows, he aspires to bounce back to his true form.
On March 17, 2023, Gay inked a four-year deal with Indianapolis worth $22.5 million, including $13 million guaranteed. Gay finished with 33 made FGs in 2023, tied for the seventh-most made FGs in the league. His 80.5% field goal percentage on 41 attempts ranked 27th in the league. Not ideal for the player the Colts made the NFL’s highest-paid kicker based on Average Annual Value.
