Life in the NFL can be brutal for a kicker, which is something that Vikings rookie Daniel Carlson found out the hard way this week.The team announced on Monday that they've decided to cut ties with Carlson in a move that comes le s than 24 hours after the kicker's disastrous 0-for-3 performance in Green Bay on Sunday Willis Reed Jersey . During the 29-29 tie, Carlson mi sed two kicks in overtime, including a 35-yard attempt as time expired that would have given the Vikings the win at Lambeau Field. Carlson also mi sed a field goal in the first half from 48 yards away. More on the NFL Following the tie, it became pretty clear that Minnesota probably wasn't going to keep Carlson. During his postgame pre s conference, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer didn't exactly give Carlson a vote of confidence when asked if the rookie would stay on Nerlens Noel Jersey as kicker."I don't know. It's too early. General manager Rick Spielman and I have barely talked yet. Rick and I will ," Zimmer said, via the . The rookie, who beat out Kai Forbath for the kicking job during training camp after being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, is now headed for the NFL unemployment line after just two career games.Zimmer was asked on Monday to explain why the Vikings decided to cut Carlson, and let's just say, he got kind of blunt with his answer. Why did the Vikings cut Daniel Carlson?Mike Zimmer: Did you see the game?Was it an easy decision Bernard King Jersey ?Mike Zimmer: Yeah, it was pretty easy. Chad Graff (@ChadGraff) To replace Carlson, the Vikings are planning to add one of the best kickers in NFL history. According Minnesota is expected to add former Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey. Bailey is on the free agent market because the Cowboys surprisingly and keep journeyman kicker Brett Maher.The reason it was a surprising move is because Bailey has been one of the best kickers in the NFL over the past Julius Randle Jersey few years. Since his rookie season in 2011, Bailey has hit 88.15 percent of his field goals, which makes him the second most accurate kicker in NFL history, behind only Justin Tucker (90.31 percent).Bailey had offers from , including the Browns, but likely decided on the Vikings because they're a contender and they play indoors, which is a huge advantage for a kicker. The one tiny red flag with Bailey is his injury history. During his time in Dallas last season, Bailey mi sed in Week 7 and Maurice Harkless Jersey never really seemed to recover from it. All five of Bailey's mi ses last season came after he returned from the injury. The kicker went 7 of 7 before the injury, but just 8 of 13 after it.
