The Facts: The Vikings re-signed Bailey to a one-year, $1 million deal, source said.
Diehards Line:The contract has a maximum value of $2 million with incentives. ... As Profootballtalk.com noted, Bailey did not start last season with the Vikings. They selected Daniel Carlson in the fifth round and gave him the job, but he was cut after missing three kicks in the second week of the season. Bailey went 21-of-28 on field goals and 30-of-31 on extra points the rest of the way. After several years of shaky results, head coach Mike Zimmer said last month that he’s thinking about hiring a kicking coach for his staff. If he does, Bailey will be one of the first tests of that coach’s effectiveness.
