Blair Walsh has had “a little bit of communication” about extension

The Vikings got good immediate returns on their decision to draft kicker Blair White in the sixth round of the 2012 draft when Walsh went on to make the Pro Bowl after hitting on 35-of-38 field goals.

Walsh made all 10 of his tries from 50 yards or beyond that season and another good year in 2013 seemed to signal a long stay for Walsh in Minnesota. Things didn’t work out quite as well for Walsh last season, however. He only made 74.3% of his field goal tries and missed three kicks inside of 40 yards, which leads him to acknowledge the need to be “better” in 2015 even if he doesn’t think “wholesale changes” are necessary.
