Vikings sign kicker Blair Walsh to four-year extension

The Minnesota Vikings have signed kicker Blair Walsh to a four-year extension.

What It Means:

Walsh should see more field goal opportunities this season with the return of Adrian Peterson and addition of Mike Wallace.

Walsh has impressed during his first three seasons with the Vikings, posting an 84.5% field goal percentage. We project him to finish the season with 24 made field goals and 30 extra points as the 29th-ranked kicker. In 2014, Walsh posted a Field Goal Net Expected Points score, which compares a player's performance to expectation level, of just 4.43, which ranked 31st among 37 kickers.
