EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a new contract with kicker Dan Bailey, the ninth-year veteran who was signed last season to replace struggling rookie Daniel Carlson. Bailey’s deal was done Tuesday, bringing the fifth-most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history (86.6 per cent) back to a team that has lacked reliability and stability at the position for the past five years. Bailey’s performance was mixed at best, making 21 of 28 field goals and 30 of 31 extra points. He suffered a groin injury in 2017 with Dallas, leading to his departure from the Cowboys. He posted a career-worst field goal rate of 75 per cent in each of the past two seasons.
