Colts Re-Sign Vinatieri To Two-Year Deal

2:00pm: Vinatieri gets $5MM over two years, tweets Mike Chappell of the Indy Star.

9:24am: The Colts have re-signed veteran kicker Adam Vinatieri to a two-year contract, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (via Twitter). Having re-signed punter Pat McAfee to a long-term deal last week, Indianpolis now has both of its key right legs locked up through at least the 2015 season.

Vinatieri, the NFL’s active leading scorer, converted 35 of 40 field goals for the Colts last season, including four of six from beyond 50 yards. At season’s end, he indicated that he wasn’t considering retirement, and that he hoped to keep playing for “two or three more years,” so there’s a chance this may not even be his last NFL contract.
