it is not too "dumb" to think that vinatieri saw a team with a much better record, who advanced just as far into the playoffs as his beloved team, who very well couldve advanced into an overtime and a shot at the afc champ game with a player of his skills, and thought......"maybe ill make more $$$$ and have a better shot at winning with them".

like i said the deal aint done yet. pats still have a chance to step up to the plate and do the right thing.

youre probably right. i always did think vinatieri was nothing but a dumb jock with no TRUE skills. this move will definitely prove it. hes still got a chance to come to his senses and take that "winners discount".

but to put it into perspective, if i saw 15 $100 bills blowing in the wind and only caught 12 of them, i would atleast attempt to fetch the remaining 3.

kind of debunks the idea that all these patriots will accept veteran minimum to keep the dynasty alive.

he'll be back, dont worry.

Adam Vinatieri a Colt = hahahahahaha. The league's second highest revenue generating team is too cheap to sign the game's best clutch kicker. Pathetic. Good luck replacing AV.

Wasn't about the kicker at all. Peyton didn't like him, he got the boot. A move for team chemistry, nothing more.

AV has to be loving it, though.

The Patriots are 20 mil under the cap, and still have the games best clutch QB = hahahahaha

This is certainly interesting news - as far as I can tell it is a done deal and AV is a Colt.

Im afraid I wont be wishing him luck on this career move - the same as if Givens had gone to Miami instead of the Browns - the Colts are still contenders and genuine rivals, although I dont expect them to be as good this year as last year without the Edge.

AV is the best kicker the game has seen - bearing in mind he has played alot of his career in a cold weather outdoor environment his stats top anyone else - especially anyone who has made a career out of kicking in windless warm artificial domes.

I dont think we will be looking at Vanderjagt - too much money for a guy who can't kick the big one.

I agree. They may get their next kicker the same way they got Vinatieri, draft him.
