No surprise. Bailey left 27 points on the board last season (15/22 on FGs, 37/43 on XPs) and was the lowest-graded kicker in the NFL.

Cutting him clears his $2.7M 2021 salary but accelerates his $1.05M 2022 bonus proration. About $1M in net savings with the top 51 rule.

....meanwhile @GermanVike probably wonders why Bailey's getting a boat.

Although the Vikings wanted to keep Dan Bailey, we were unable to agree to a renegotiated contract. They did not want to pay his current contract so he will be a free agent as of today.

So, he cut himself...!   

They make people he can talk to.  We should really get him their number.

Hehe, I've been sticking around for long enough to not get confused about this 

...and over here in Germany we do also call some kinds of ankle boots "Boots" (with the english "u"-sound, not an "o"-sound)  ;-)
