3 year deal. Its interesting that Joseph's deal isn't guaranteed, so no cap implications if Brkic wins it.

Wow, a 3-year deal? Maybe enough to buy a vowel? Looks like a character outta North Dallas Forty.

Who knew that Doc Holiday was also a kicker when he wasn't gambling

Yep. He's the savior Viking Nation didn't know we needed. Soon to be a fan favorite if he can make kicks and keep that personality.

Is a 3-year deal even a competition? To me that says Doc is the guy. I guess if it's only one year guaranteed then that's a different story.

I think it says the Vikings really wanted him and wanted to give him a contract that would get him here. But with only one year guaranteed, it also means that if he can't beat out Joseph, it's not a huge money loss. His profile is promising, but Joseph had a solid year last season.

He needs to keep the 'stache. I'd make it a contract requirement if he sticks.

First off, all UDFA deals are theoretically 3-year deals. So that is agent spin. 

Second, although it will be a "competition" I don't know how seriously they're looking to replace Joseph. This feels like a move to just get a kicker into camp early on to make sure they have the timing nailed down as a unit if they needed to use him during the season due to injury. They'll be able to carry him on the PS. Long-term maybe he is a viable candidate for kicker since Joseph is on a 1-year RFA tender. But that is a ways out.
