On May 7, 2013, the Panthers announced that Kasay would sign a one-day contract and retire as a Panther. The Panthers held a press conference at Bank of America Stadium that day to honor Kasay; team owner Jerry Richardson introduced Kasay, and many players, as well as the Richardson family, attended the event. Kasay will be eligible for induction in the team's Ring of Honor five years after his retirement.

Kasay continued to play for the Panthers through the 2010 season. On July 28, 2011, he was released by Carolina after they signed Olindo Mare. He was the last remaining player left from the Panthers' 1995 inaugural season and the last NFL player born in the 1960s to retire.

The New Orleans Saints signed Kasay on August 30, 2011 after an injury to their starting kicker Garrett Hartley during a preseason game. According to Al Michaels during the Thursday Night Football broadcast against the Green Bay Packers on September 8, 2011, Kasay was at a "back-to-school" event when he received a phone call from the Saints wishing to sign him. Kasay played out the 2011 season in New Orleans, and was re-signed through the 2012 NFL season by Saints on April 26, 2012. However, he was released by the Saints on August 31, 2012 with the return of Hartley.

Kasay hit his 400th field goal on December 6, 2009 in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is only the 7th player in NFL history to accomplish that. Kasay is the longest tenured player to play for the Panthers.

Kasay formerly held the record for most field goals in a single season with 37 in 1996, and he was awarded his only Pro Bowl appearance as a result. This has been surpassed by Olindo Mare (39 in 1999), Neil Rackers (42 in 2005), and David Akers (44 in 2011).

Kasay was a four-year letterman at the University of Georgia. He finished his college career fifth on the school's career kick scoring list with 217 points, converting 46-of-65 field goals and 79-of-82 extra points. Kasay graduated from Georgia in 1991 with a degree in journalism.

Kasay was drafted in the fourth round in 1991 by the Seattle Seahawks. During his tenure, he led the Seahawks in scoring all four years, and left the team with the highest field goal percentage in team history. The Panthers signed him as a free agent prior to the team's debut in the 1995 season. He played for the Panthers in 15 seasons, but missed the whole 2000 season after breaking his left kneecap in August.
