Colts bring in former Cowboys kicker Billy Cundiff for a tryout

While Adam Vinatieri is on the mend from hip surgery, the Colts have quietly brought in former-Cowboys kicker Billy Cundiff for a tryout.

Cundiff, who wasn’t immediately available for comment, is currently an NFL free agent and isn’t quite ready to hang up his helmet. He auditioned for the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago and is trying out today for the Colts with hopes of securing a spot on the roster.

Prior to the tryouts, Billy Cundiff was working for a venture capitalist.

In other news, Joseph Addai and Mike Pollak have been held out of OTAs due to injury. That's not a good start for two guys clearly on the hot seat. (Shake Edit: Oesher reports that Addai had his knee scoped after the season, possibily the reason why he's sitting out of OTAs)

I don't see how they could be injured

No football for six months, no-pads walkthroughs…either Addai had a case of Laurence-Maroney-Syndrome or he gets injured stepping off the bus (like our favorite backup QB).

professional atheletes putting their degrees to use. Good for him.

Addai already hurt huh? This is going to be a long season.

Great stories. Compelling, and rich.

Could be a blessing in disguise

Only gives Donald more oppurtunities to succeed.

Oesher says Addai got a knee scoped after the season

might be why he’s sitting out for now.
