2019 NFL free agency: Possible fits for the Vikings
Let’s face it, Minnesota needs to find someone who can consistently make kicks. We don’t need to go over the recent tortured history of the team, but Dan Bailey seemed like he’d be that guy in 2018 … but he wasn’t, making just 4 of 9 attempts from 40-49 yards. Myers was so-so with Jacksonville in his first three seasons, but made the Pro Bowl in 2018 with the Jets, connecting 33 of 36 field-goal attempts, including 11 of 12 from 40-49 yards and 6 of 7 from 50+. There are only a handful of unrestricted free-agent kickers available. When you take into consideration quality, age and potential salary, Myers could be the guy. Besides, we have a feeling the Vikings won’t rely on a rookie in 2019.
