• Vikings' Dan Bailey: Back with Vikings

  03/19/2020 •

  The Vikings re-signed Bailey on Thursday, Lindsey Young of the team's official site reports. Bailey was hit-and-miss in 2018, connecting on 21 of 28 field-goal attempts, but his accuracy returned last season when he went awry on just two of his 29 such kicks. Overall, he ranks fourth in NFL history with a 93.1 percent success rate on field goals, so he should continue to remain a viable kicker option in support of a Kirk Cousins-led offense.

  Bailey made all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Week 17's win over the Bears.

The 31-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2020, though the Vikings could have incentive to bring him back, coming off a reliable season.

  Bailey hit all four field goals and three of four extra-point tries in Sunday's 39-10 win over the Chargers. The Vikings poured it on, and Bailey attempted four field goals for the third time this season. He was good from 26, 44, 38 and 27 yards, as he continues to be perfect from under 40 yards this season. The 31-year-old has also drilled all four kicks from beyond 50 yards, but his struggles with extra points -- 34 of 38 -- continue to follow him. Bailey will look to have a clean outing in Week 16 against the Packers to try keeping the team's NFC North dreams alive.
