Kaare Vedvik’s shaky preseason work with the Vikings will lead to his new team cutting him. The Vikings traded a fifth-round pick for the promising Ravens kicker, but after these recent struggles, Minnesota will keep Dan Bailey as its field goal specialist, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets.
Following his trade from Baltimore, Vedvik made 1 of 4 field goal tries with Minnesota. This came after he went 4-for-4 in his Ravens finale. Vedvik retains practice squad eligibility, should he pass through waivers. But this could represent another squandered fifth-round pick on a kicker.
The Vikings drafted Daniel Carlson in the 2018 fifth round but waived him after two games last season. Vedvik did not make it that far. Matt Wile will remain the Vikings’ punter, with Bailey — Carlson’s replacement last season — staying on as the kicker.

Boswell has a fantastic preseason, they’re going to give him another shot.
More incompetence when it comes to kickers for Minniesot. A lost playoff game, two 5th round picks down the drain cause they cant find a kicker
So in Baltimore he’s literally flawless and in Minnesota he’s 1 for 4? Hmmm.. that’s weird.
He’ll end up somewhere soon. He’s too talented at both kicker and punter.
Maybe he’ll have better luck with a real NFL team? Who knows
Not shocking. Guys have good games followed by bad all the time. See Cody Parkey.
Vikings mistake was jumping gun in trade prior to end of preseason, and making trade without any conditions based upon making the team.
Glad the Vikings didn’t compound their mistake by cutting Wile.
