The Minnesota Vikings have signed Punter Johnny Hacker to a new deal.

The team announced on Tuesday.

Hacker, who is 36 years old, spent last season with the Tennessee Titans, punting in all

17 games for 46.8 yard.

Gross average and a 40.3 yard net, including 22 punts inside the 20 yard line.

That comes after the Titans added Tommy Townsend to their roster last week, leaving Hacker available.

Last year, Vikings punter Ryan Wright handled 65 punts with a 49 yard gross and 45.4 yard

net.

This move aims to bolster their special team's depth.

Hacker started his pro career as an undrafted free agent with the Ramsback in 2012, sticking

around for 10 seasons and earning 4.

Pro Bowl selections along the way before a couple years with Carolina.
