Joseph, 29, "had other interest but liked this opportunity,"
agent Brett Tessler wrote on Twitter.
Green Bay will have a kicking competition with Joseph, recently
signed Jack Podlesny and incumbent Anders Carlson, who was
inconsistent as a rookie in 2023.
Joseph is the Vikings' record holder for longest field goal (61
yards, in 2022) and most game-winning field goals (five in
2022). He made 24 of 30 field-goal attempts (80 percent) and 36
of 38 extra-point attempts (94.7 percent) last season, with a
long kick of 54 yards.
Joseph has played for the Cleveland Browns (2018), Tennessee
Titans (2019) and Vikings (2021-23). He has made 100 of 121
field-goal tries (82.6 percent) and 146 of 162 point-after tries
(90.1 percent). He has delivered touchbacks on 71.3 percent of
his kickoffs, including 80.9 percent in 2021.
