The Dallas Cowboys made a surprising move when they released former Oklahoma State kicker Dan Bailey during final roster cuts on Sept. 1.
But Bailey, the second-most accurate kicker in NFL history, didn't have to wait long until he received multiple offers from teams around the league.
After a miserable Week 2 for kickers, Bailey became one of the most desired free agents in the NFL — a rarity for players at his position.
The Southwest Covenant alum found a right fit with the Minnesota Vikings, a perennial contender that has struggled to find a reliable kicker in recent years.
