Dan Bailey

This was telegraphed when the Vikings signed Greg Joseph a month ago. Bailey had a disastrous, shank-filled 2020 where he converted just 15-of-22 field goal attempts. That is not going to cut it in modern football. One of the best kickers in the league his first six years in Dallas, Bailey has been highly inconsistent since 2017. His big leg and experience will earn him plenty of free agent workouts, but his days of being a set-and-forget option, both in real life and fantasy, appear to be over. 

Bailey can make up to $12 million by meeting certain field goal percentage incentives. The nine-year veteran has posted 84% field goal and 93% extra point rates for the Vikings over the last two seasons.

Awful in 2018, Bailey rebounded last season to convert 93.1 percent of his field goal tries. He did shank 4-of-44 extra point attempts. Always one of the league's best kickers until 2017, 32-year-old Bailey has hopefully re-settled his career.

Awful for the Vikings his first season in Minnesota in 2018, Bailey rebounded to convert 27-of-29 field goal tries last season while making 40-of-44 extra points. It was more like the performance we were used to seeing from Bailey in Dallas. Bailey turned 32 in January.
