Kicker Dan Bailey got the boot from the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday in a salary cap-related roster move.
Bailey, 33, spent three years with the team and was due a bonus this month tied to the three-year, $10 million deal he signed in March 2020. He had a 2021 cap hit of $3.8 million.
He made a career-worst 68.2 percent of his field goals in 2020 and missed five extra points in the team’s final five regular-season games.
