4 free-agent punters the Vikings could sign in 2020
By Adam Carlson
The Minnesota Vikings will need to have a punter on the roster for the 2020 NFL season and may have to look into free agency to fill that role.
In recent history, the Minnesota Vikings have struggled to find a special teams unit that would work together to regularly give good results. There have been struggles on kicks, holds, punts, coverage, and much more over the years, but this wasn’t an issue in 2019.
Now, with both the kicker and punter from last season set to become free agents if they are not re-signed, the Vikings are in a situation where they might be looking to find another combination of specialists to handle those duties from here on out.
In particular, the job of punter and holder is set to be wide open if Minnesota decides not to bring back their potential free agents, meaning that it might be time to look at who could be available for them to sign.
Let’s take a look at four free-agent punters who the Vikings would be smart to consider before the beginning of the 2020 NFL season starting with the most obvious choice.
