Vikings to re-sign K Greg Joseph, LS Andrew DePaula

Joseph bounced around the league a bit before finding a home in Minnesota prior to the 2021 campaign. 

The kicker connected on 86.8% of his field goal attempts and 36 of his 40 extra point tries during his first season in Minny, but he took a step back in 2022.

The 28-year-old struggled a bit this past year, missing seven of his 33 field goal attempts (although six of those misses came from beyond 50 yards). He also missed six of his 46 XP tries, leading to some questions about his future with the organization. 

Ultimately, it sounds like the front office is willing to give him another go for at least the 2023 campaign, although it wouldn’t be surprising if the Vikings bring in some competition.

The Vikings are also bringing back their All-Pro long snapper, Andrew DePaola, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. 

The veteran has been hanging around the NFL since 2014, and he’s spent the past three years with the Vikings. After getting into all 17 games for Minnesota in 2022, DePaola earned his first career All-Pro and Pro Bowl nod.
