The Minnesota Vikings have signed kicker Dan Bailey, the owner of the second-best field goal percentage in NFL history and the replacement for rookie Daniel Carlson.

The Vikings cut Carlson after his 0-for-3 game at Green Bay. He missed field goals of 48, 49 and 35 yards, with the last two failed tries coming in overtime and forcing the Vikings to settle for a 29-29 tie with the Packers.

Bailey has a career field goal rate better than 88 percent, trailing only Baltimore’s Justin Tucker.
