Remember when we thought the answer to the Vikings’ kicking problem was Kaare Vedvik?
Ah, memories.
For all the ups and downs the Vikings have had at kicker through the years, the 2019 season was a pretty smooth ride.
In his second season with the club, Dan Bailey was 27-for-29 on field goals, connecting at a 93.1 percent clip, just 0.7 off of his career high. That mark also ranked fourth in the NFL.
Bailey, 31, is a free agent this offseason but it would be a huge surprise if the Vikings didn’t bring him back — or at least try to. Bailey doesn’t have the biggest leg and he did miss four extra points in 2019, but for a team that has gone through so much at the position, we can look past all of that.
It would seem silly to draft a kicker considering the Vikings are already down a fifth-round pick for acquiring Vedvik last August.
