The Minnesota Vikings found a way to beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon by a score of 34-26. The win didn’t go without its issues, however, as Greg Joseph continued his cold streak by missing two kicks.
Joseph missed another 56-yard field goal doing so in an interesting fashion. He had it blocked but it was blocked because he hit a defensive lineman’s facemask. Joseph also missed an extra point in the fourth quarter that kept it a one-score game.
Joseph has struggled this season after a hot start and has fans wanting a change at the position. Here are kickers that the Vikings should look at signing.
Matthew Wright
With Harrison Butker injured, Wright played in two games this season for the Kansas City Chiefs. He made all eight extra points and was 3-4 in converting field goals, including a long of 59 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders. The third-year pro has made 28-32 field goals and 28-30 extra points. He currently sits on the Chiefs practice squad.
Sam Ficken
The former Penn State kicker is currently on the Detroit Lions practice squad. He hasn’t kicked in an NFL game since 2020, but has 28 games of experience. Over his career, he has made 35-48 field goals and 49-56 extra points.
Austin Seibert
Seibert is a former fifth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns and started the season as the kicker for the Detroit Lions. He was waived after playing three games for the Lions this season. In his career over four seasons, Seibert has made 44-55 field goals and 55-61 extra points.
Ryan Santoso
The former University of Minnesota kicker and punter has not had a lot of experience kicking in the NFL but he has a big leg. He is 4-5 on field goals and 6-8 on extra points.
Jose Borregales
The former Miami FL kicker hasn’t caught on thus far in the NFL but he was successful during his college days. Over four seasons, Borregales made 70-88 field goals and 168-171 extra points.
Elliott Fry
Aldrick Rosas
Rosas is one of the more experienced kickers on the market, having appeared in 59 games in his NFL career. In his career, Rosas has kicked for four teams converting 72-91 field goals with a long of 57 and 109-117 on extra points.
