From Colts.com:
"“Adam continues to play at the highest level year in and year out and his hard work, consistency and professionalism are a credit to him being the longest tenured active player in the NFL. Adam has won multiple Super Bowls and is a future Hall of Famer. We look forward to continuing to utilize his championship-pedigree and leadership in our program.”"
Adam Vinatieri will be turning 44 in December and will be 45 by the time the deal expires. However, he has remained one of the best kickers in the league at a reasonable cost and shows no signs of slowing down. Vinatieri is coming off the fourth highest field goal percentage (92.6 percent) of his career.
