Greg Joseph’s roller coaster season didn’t cost him an opportunity for bigger and better things in 2023 as the Minnesota Vikings have reportedly brought the kicker back on a new contract.
The contract was confirmed by Joseph’s agent Brett Tessler, who told Adam Schefter (per Schefter) that the one-year deal is nearly fully guaranteed.
Congrats to my client Greg Joseph on his new deal with the Minnesota Vikings! Set the NFL record with 5 game-winning field goals last season including the club record 61-yard game winner against the Giants & 2 NFC special teams player of the week awards.

Joseph was 40-of-46 on extra points last season and 26-of-33 on field goals, though five of his misses were from 50-plus yards.
He finished the season on a better note than he started by hitting 19-of-20 extra points over the final seven games (including the playoffs) while also converting 18-of-20 field goals over the final 11 games (including playoffs), with his two misses both coming in Minnesota’s blowout loss at Lambeau Field on New Year’s Day.
Minnesota also re-signed long snapper Andrew DePaola, with Schefter reporting that it’s a three-year deal worth $4.025 million, including $2.265 million guaranteed.
