The Minnesota Vikings have released kicker Dan Bailey.

The 33-year-old was at risk of becoming a cap casualty this offseason after the Vikings signed Greg Joseph off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad.

With $1.8 million of Bailey's $2.7 million 2021 base salary set to become guaranteed on March 19, the Vikings released the kicker to yield $1.7 million in salary-cap savings.
