Washington re-signed Moody to a one-year contract Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Moody was cut by both the 49ers and Bears in 2025 before landing with the Commanders, where he went 10-for-11 on field-goal tries and 10-for-11 on extra-point tries across the team's final six games of the 2025 season. Across three combined appearances between San Francisco and Chicago, he converted nine of 12 field-goal tries and all five of his PATs. Moody projects as the favorite to operate as Washington's starting kicker during the 2026 campaign, though the team could still add competition at the position this offseason.

Commanders' Jake Moody: Effective after 49ers exit
Rotowire
Moody went 19-for-23 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-16 on extra-point tries across nine games in 2025 while playing for the 49ers, Bears and Commanders.
Moody was coming off a shaky 2024 regular season with the 49ers, when he connected on just 24 of 34 field-goal attempts (70.6 percent). Things didn't get much better for the third-year kicker after he went 1-for-3 on his field-goal tries in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Seahawks, which led to him being waived by San Francisco shortly after. Moody caught on with the Bears on the practice squad and appeared in two games in October due to Cairo Santos being sidelined by a thigh injury, and the former made eight of nine field goals over those two outings. That was enough for Moody to catch on with the Commanders in mid-November, and he stuck around in Washington to finish off the season going 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-11 on extra-point tries over six games. Moody enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but his solid finish to the season could convince the Commanders to stick with the 2023 third-rounder out of Michigan.

Commanders' Jake Moody: Converts all three FG attempts in loss
Rotowire
Moody went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries Thursday in a Week 17 loss to Dallas.
Moody's first two field goals were relative chip shots, coming from 29 and 23 yards out. However, he came through on a big 51-yarder with just over two minutes remaining in the game to keep the Commanders' hopes of a comeback alive. Moody remains almost perfect since making his Washington debut Week 13, going 9-for-9 on FG tries and 7-for-8 of PATs. Moody's 51-yarder Thursday was his first FG make of 50-plus yards this season.

Commanders' Jake Moody: Perfect in loss
Rotowire
Moody converted both his one field-goal attempt and one extra-point attempt in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.
Moody converted his 19-yard field goal attempt on the Commanders' first drive, and he was only called upon once more in the game, converting an extra-point attempt in the second quarter after a one-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The kicker now moves to 6-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-of-6 on extra-point attempts through four games as a Commander.

Commanders' Jake Moody: Makes five of six kicks vs. NYG
Rotowire
Moody converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Commanders' 29-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Moody drilled all three of his field-goal attempts in the first half, with his longest coming from 46 yards in the first quarter. His extra-point try late in the second quarter hit the right upright, which was his first PAT miss of the year. Moody is 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-5 on point-after tries across three regular-season games with the Commanders.

Commanders' Jake Moody: No kicks in Week 14
Rotowire
Moody did not attempt a field goal or an extra-point try in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.
Moody was blanked along with his team in Week 14, failing to attempt a kick for the first time over five contests with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this year. The kicker will look to break a sweat in Week 15 against the Giants.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Misses two kicks in Madrid
Rotowire
Gay went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Commanders' 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Both of Gay's misses came from 51 and 56 yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, but they turned out to be crucial misses in what was a close affair in Madrid, Spain. It was the second time this season that the veteran kicker missed two field goals in a game, and he is now 4-for-9 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards. Gay is now 13-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 22-for-22 on extra-point tries through 10 regular-season games.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Accounts for four points in loss
Rotowire
Gay made his lone field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Gay's field goal came from 44 yards out, and the veteran kicker has now made 11 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 21 of his extra-point tries through nine games this season. In a down season for the Washington offense, Gay has minimal fantasy value, especially while Jayden Daniels (elbow) is injured.

Falcons' Zane Gonzalez: New kicker in Atlanta
Rotowire
Gonzalez agreed to a one-year contract with the Falcons on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Atlanta will make room for Gonzalez on its roster by waiving incumbent kicker Parker Romo, whose missed extra-point attempt in this past Sunday's game against the Patriots proved to be the difference in a 24-23 loss. Gonzalez, who had been a free agent since being cut by Washington in April, brings ample NFL experience to the table, though he's rarely performed well enough to earn a long-term stay at any of his four stops since entering the league in 2017. The 30-year-old has converted field goals at an 80 percent clip across stints with the Browns, Cardinals, Panthers and Commanders over parts of six seasons.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Gets back to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Gay (back) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Gay missed the final session of Week 8 prep due to a back injury and then was ruled out ahead of Monday's eventual loss at Kansas City. Matthew Wright stepped in for Gay and made his only kick (a PAT), but the latter's return to practice three days later is a sign of progress for the seventh-year pro. Gay's listing on Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a chance to play Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Matthew Wright: Cut by Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders released Wright from their practice squad Tuesday.
Wright was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the Commanders in Monday's 28-7 loss to Kansas City. Though he connected on his only kick of the game -- an extra-point try late in the second quarter -- Wright will end up parting ways with the organization one day later. The release likely signals that Matt Gay (back) will be ready to serve as the Commanders' placekicker in their Week 9 matchup with the Seahawks.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Imperfect in Week 6
Rotowire
Gay went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Monday night's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Gay hit the left upright on a 50-yard field-goal try in the second quarter, missing his first kick since Week 3. The kicker later added a make from 53 yards to finish off the Commanders' first drive of the second half. Gay has gone 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 16 of his extra-point tries over six games this year.

Zane Gonzalez: Let go by Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders are releasing Gonzalez on Tuesday after having signed Matt Gay, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Gonzalez performed admirably for Washington after Austin Seibert (groin) was lost to injury in Week 12 last year, suiting up for six regular-season games and three postseason contests. In that span he converted 12 of his 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 of his extra-point tries. Gonzalez, who will turn 30 in early May, likely won't need long to catch on with a new team.

Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Limited Tuesday with hip issue
Rotowire
Gonzalez was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a hip injury.
Gonzalez connected on both of his extra-point attempts and all three of his field-goal tries -- including the game winner from 37 yards as time expired -- in the Commanders' 23-20 wild-card win over the Buccaneers, but he seems to have picked up a hip issue along the way. There's no indication yet he's in danger of missing Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Lions, however. Washington doesn't currently have any other kickers on its active roster or practice squad.

Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Ends regular season 5-for-7 on FGs
Rotowire
Gonzalez made his lone field-goal attempt and both his extra-point tries in a 23-19 win over Dallas in Week 18.
Gonzalez came through when called upon Sunday, knocking home a 47-yard field goal in the second period and converting both of his extra-point tries. The 28-year-old served as the Commanders' kicker for seven of the team's final nine games, going 5-for-7 on field-goal tries while making all 19 of his point-after attempts. Austin Seibert (groin) -- who remains on IR -- had been Washington's placekicker prior to getting hurt in late November, and it's unclear if Seibert will be able to return at any point in the postseason. Gonzalez, who will be a free agent at the end of the campaign, will likely to continue to kick for the Commanders for as long as Seibert remains out.

Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Perfect against Atlanta
Rotowire
Gonzalez made his lone field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries during the Commanders' 30-24 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday night.
Three of Gonzalez's four kicking attempts came in the second half of Sunday's game, including a 31-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter that extended Washington's lead to seven points. Gonzalez is now 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-17 on extra-point tries in his five games with the Commanders. Whether Gonzalez will kick for the Commanders in the regular-season finale against the Cowboys will depend on whether Austin Seibert (groin) is activated off injured reserve.

Greg Joseph: Parts ways with Washington
Rotowire
Joseph was cut from the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Joseph signed with Washington's practice squad Dec. 13 and was elevated for Week 15 against New Orleans. In that contest, he went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and made both his extra-point attempts, but he reverted to the practice squad shortly thereafter. Joseph's opportunity with the Commanders came as a result of injuries to Austin Seibert (groin) and Zane Gonzalez, who was dealing with a foot issue at the time of Joseph's elevation. However, with Gonzalez back to full health and Seibert eligible to return from IR, Washington no longer has a need for Joseph's services.

Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Nails all four extra-point attempts
Rotowire
Gonzalez converted all four of his extra-point tries during the Commanders' 36-33 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Gonzalez was sidelined for the Commander's Week 15 win over the Saints due to a left foot injury. He didn't practice Wednesday while attending the birth of his child, but he managed to progress enough in his recovery from his foot injury to play Sunday. He was limited to extra-point duties in Sunday's NFC East clash, and he's a perfect 14-for-14 on extra-point tries in his four games with the Commanders while filling in for Austin Seibert (groin).

Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Available against Eagles

Gonzalez (personal) will kick Sunday against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Gonzalez missed practice Wednesday to attend the birth of his child, but he's available to suit up Sunday. Greg Joseph wasn't elevated from Washington's practice squad, confirming Gonzalez's availability. Gonzalez has made three of five field-goal attempts and all 10 PAT tries in three appearances for Washington this season.

Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Upgrades to full practice
Rotowire
Gonzalez (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday.
The Commanders list him with a foot injury, but coach Dan Quinn said an absence from practice Wednesday was due to the birth of Gonzalez's child. A quick return to practice suggests he'll be ready for Sunday's home game against the Eagles.
