Special Teams

  • Kaare Vedvik
  • Dan Bailey
  • Austin Cutting

Vedvik started the preseason with the Baltimore Ravens before impressing so much that Minnesota gave up a fifth-round pick to acquire him via trade. There is talk he could take over both punting and kicking duties, but I predict they will allow him to focus on punting while Dan Bailey stays on as the primary kicker. Cutting was drafted in the seventh round to take over as the long snapper.
