MINNEAPOLIS -- Kai Forbath is re-signing with the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year deal, a league source confirmed to ESPN.
The veteran kicker became a free agent last week after booting a career-high 32 field goals in 2017, which included six from 50 yards or further. The 30-year-old scored 130 points for the Vikings during the regular season while attempting a career-high 38 field goals. He ranks as the eighth-most accurate kicker in NFL history with an 85.9 percent success rate on field goals.
Forbath came through on a handful of pressure kicks this season, like the game-winner in Chicago, six field goals against Baltimore, a 53-yarder in Washington and his impressive 49-yard field goal in the freezing temperatures against Green Bay in Week 15.
