Vikings Pick Up Kicker Kaare Vedvik From Ravens, Release Snapper Kevin McDermott
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Vikings have a new kicker in camp … or a punter … or maybe both.
With kicker Dan Bailey and punter Matt Wile both struggling, the Vikings traded a fifth-round pick to the Ravens Sunday for Kaare Vedvick.
The native of Norway was 12-of-13 on field goals in the preseason the past two years for Baltimore, and he was a perfect 4-for-4 in Thursday’s preseason opener, including a 55-yarder. He also had two punts over 50 yards.
He could end up playing both positions for the Vikings. For now he’ll compete with both Bailey and Wile.
