Adam Vinatieri has reached an agreement in principle with the Colts.This one stings for Patriots fans, but the team simply wasn't willing to pay a kicker a $3.5 million signing bonus. Some financial terms still reportedly have to be worked out. Vinatieri's biggest weakness, on kickoffs, isn't a factor for the Colts because they use a specialist. Vinatieri is probably hoping to kick indoors into his forties and now looks like the safest fantasy bet at his position.

Wow, i would have to say this is one of the best signings of the offseason and it makes it even better knowing that we took one of our archrival' secret weapons.
I never seen this one coming but i bet the Colts got him cuz he kicked the winning kick against them in the Play-offs a lot.
Yeah.. Hopefully when they need him to kick a winning fg he will step up his game, very good signing for the Colts
I am going to go out on a limb right now and say that he will never miss a kick in the RCA dome/Lucas Oil Stadium.
I cant imagine seeing a #4 Vinatieri Colts Jersey.Good signing, but itll look weird.And Bobferg, Vinatieri isnt that great of a kicker when it doesnt matter.....he only nailed 80% of his kicks last season, so the idea that he wont miss a single kick is kinda laughable. Although when its clutch time...hes the best there is.
Love Vinateri however as a Pats fan I learn to look at the positives, Vinateri had a bad year last year and Belichick came out and said that Adam wasn't worth that money. So bring on Paul Edinger!
I was joking. But also it is pretty damn hard to kick outside in newengland. I am just saying that now he is indoors.

The patriots r simply falling apart now. They lose Givens, Mangini, and now AV. Damn, I'm so happy. Btw, updating that MVanderjack is meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. Also, i give the Colts credit cuz they refuse to sign a good kicker, and sign a good kicker. Damn, they have smart GM!!
