Colts | More about Vinatieri's contract Tue, 21 Mar 2006 21:27:01 -0800
Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports according to a source familiar with the agreement, free agent PK Adam Vinatieri (Patriots) received a five-year deal from the Indianapolis Colts that was worth $7.5 million over the first three years, $9.6 million over the first four, and included a $3.5 million signing bonus. By most accounts it is the richest deal ever for a kicker.
