The Indianapolis Colts have made a surprising move by releasing veteran kicker Matt Gay, just two years after signing him to a record-setting $22.5 million contract. This decision comes as the team looks to save nearly $3 million in salary cap space ahead of the draft. Gay, a former Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion with the Rams, has become available as potential competition for other teams, including the 49ers, who are looking for a kicker to challenge Jake Moody. The Colts are now turning to Spencer Shrader to fill the kicking duties, raising questions about their plans as they head into the offseason.
