Vedvik Cut!
Tom Pelissero @tompelissero
The #Vikings informed kicker/punter Kaare Vedvik they’re waiving him, per source. Vedvik – acquired three weeks ago for a fifth-round pick – could be back on the practice squad. But they’ll roll with Dan Bailey as kicker and Matt Wile as punter.
Well, that's frustrating. I think Wile is the biggest issue with our FG kicking.

I’m shocked. Carlson had one horrible Sunday and he was gone. Vedvik had 2 not very good preseason games and he’s cut. Both of them young, inexperienced, just beginning their careers and no doubt feeling the added pressure of being unproven. i don’t know when the last time was a kicker/ punter has ben on a practice squad but I hope Vedvik makes it and develops into the k/p we know he can be.
better off with Bailey. simple as that.
pretty dumb trade at the time. its even worse now.
oh well moving on with the hopes our kicking game isnt a nightmare this year!
Just straight up mistake. I said as much the day it happened. But moving on from mistakes is usually not the forte of NFL GMs.
Spielman made a mistake and moved on from it immediately. Keep moving forward.
How do we know it was a mistake---seems like too short a period to truly evaluate.
Bailey seemed to respond. I don't think 5th round picks are worth much anyway. Outside of Diggs I can't think of one who made a real contribution here for any length of time. And Spielman will acquire 5 6th and 7th rounders anyway to make up for it in 2020.
OK I am. not a Rick Spielman basher at all in fact I think he has done a pretty good job o the roster for the conditions he has been working. But this is a really bad move. You need to know before hand Vedvek is this bad and not give up a 5th for him. Bad job scouting and horrible trade.

How were Rick & Zim supposed to know this would happen? However, the better question might be, why did it happen?

stupid move overall by mister 7th round pick and his lackeys.
ive heard more about his heritage than his history kicking a football...
Did he play college football? Where did he display the skills that caught Baltimore's eye in the first place?
I get falling for promising preseason tape. I get the appeal of kicking and punting. Where it gets confusing for me is.... he has more history kicking than making a dozen preseason field goals in Baltimore, right?
let see Carlson can't seem to make them Bailey struggled and now Vedvik what is common thread WILE is my thoughts.
