Based on age and timg of when the existg ntracts were signed, there are a few players that act as close parisons to where Gay’s market value currently ss: Koo, Calson, Fairbairn, Sanrs, and Butker.

Gay has monstrated over the last three seasons that he’s reliable and pable of beg one of the top kickers the NFL, though he might not ever shake the reputatn or labels he earned durg his early stggl Tampa Bay. While Gay is likely to mand a top-tier ntract orr to stay Los Angel, there’s not a large gap between what the rt of the NFL teams are payg (above $4M) and what would likely take to reta the kicker that helped you reach and w a Super Bowl. I’m not sayg L Snead and the Rams should open up their wallet books and give a kicker a blank check, but Gay has earned the right to be LA’s kicker of the future and serv to be paid acrdgly.
