Dan Bailey is coming off a great 2019-20, and the Vikings decided to lock him in.
Minnesota announced that it has agreed to terms with Bailey on Thursday. There’s no report regarding the years or money on his contract just yet. Vikings Wire will update this article when that information is released.
Bailey made a little more than 93% of his field goals in 2019-20, which ranked fourth in the NFL. He was also more than 90% on extra points.
Minnesota’s kicker and punter will both return to the team for 2020, according to reports. Britton Colquitt and the Vikings reportedly agreed to a new deal earlier in the offseason.
After Bailey had two seasons where he made just 75% of his field goals, one of which was with Minnesota, the Vikings kept with him and were rewarded for it with his performance in 2019-20.
“He’s just a quiet demeanor, with confidence,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer told the team in regards to Bailey. “He doesn’t get too high or too low about anything.”
“Every time I talk to him, he’s steady as a rock,” Zimmer said.
