Vikings waive Daniel Carlson; Vikings/Packers Photo Gallery

Less than 24 hours after missing three field goals and costing the Vikings a potential victory over Green Bay, rookie kicker Daniel Carlson is looking for work today. The Vikings waived Carlson this afternoon and agreed to terms with former Dallas Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey.

Carlson, who missed kicks of 48, 49 and 35 yards, including a game winning kick in overtime was a 5th round draft choice out of Auburn.

Bailey, who is an 8 year veteran,  comes to Minnesota after turning down offers from several teams.

Bailey is currently the second most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history having converted 88.1 percent of his career attempts, behind only Baltimore’s Justin Tucker (90.3 percent).
