Colts get Adam Vinatieri.

[FatTony]

ESPN news is reporting.

Goodbye to VanderJerk.

Yeah everyone kinda knew at the end of the season the Liquored up kicker was gone. Especially with his anit Manning/Dungy comments.

Wonder if the Pats take him.

In the dome? He will never miss another kick...Patriots are finally losing players due to no cap room.

Adam V 2006 projected stats

PAt's 72-72
FG's 37-38

It's worth whatever they paid. He's gold.

Also you get to chop the legs out of the Pats in the process.

I think so. Vanderjerk proved he can kick outside as well.

Never forget he kicked that game winner in the snow in the Denver like two yrs ago.

 

[Journeyman]

It's not as if Vandy sucks, the guy is probably top 5 still.

 

[FairWarning]

Fantasy football-wise, Vanderjack's value will rise and Viniteri's will drop. Viniteri will kick fewer FGs but more XPs.

Sports suck sometimes. This guy hit the greatest kick I've ever seen...45 yarder in blizzard vs. Oakland and now he's on the stinkin' Colts. For the life of my I can't figure out why NE wouldn't overpay him $500 grand to keep him around. He's an icon for Christ sakes. DAMNIT!!!

 

[BC-Eagles]

it's a sad sad day for Boston sports.

 

[SteamDaddy]

Yeah Vanderjat really sucked:monsters-

I mean what is he.......................#1 Alltime FG %?

Good thing they got rid of the bum:cryingcry

 

[jademan]

Nope he will go to Dallas - It appears that they are going for an attitude and he will fit right in withT.O.

if only now the colts could find a quarterback that can win big games.:missingte :missingte :missingte :missingte :missingte :missingte :missingte

Vinatieri is deteriorating IMHO. He may never kick another 50-yarder, not even in a dome. Best years behind him. Pats know what they're doing.

what like when they got rid of bledsoe for the second string mich qb.
and won 3 superbowls.

 

[RobFunk]

I agree with D2. Smart thing to do here is to find the next stud thats a bargain. It's what the pats have been doing for years.

 

[TescoVee]

how has it worked out for Lawyer Milloy, Damien Woody and Ty Law since they left to play for more money?

Hate to see McGinest and Vinatieri leave but cant keep paying huge bucks to the old guys.
Lock and load with new young talent and dont look back.
works for the Steelers.

The Pats are the smartest organization out there and the bottom line here is like you said the best years are behind him.

Vinateri career field goals.

Indoor 34 of 36, 94.4%
Outdoor 229 of 285, 80.4%

Never thought I'd see Vinatieri anywhere but NE.

I agree with Fair Warning, this won't hurt Vanderjagt's fantasy appeal (my keeper kicker) but his best days may be behind him. 9 yrs in the league plus 93-97 in CFL. Plus, he's a jerk; played for the Sask. Riders in 93 and Taylor Field still smells like his farts. Braggart. How many times does he need to mention he's the career FG percentage leader in his interviews? Good kicker though.
