Vinitari and Vanderjact

How long do kicker's careers usually last? I only ask cause Vinatieri has been in the NFL for about 10 years now, and is 34 years old. Seems like he's probably getting towards the end of his career. I'd rather have someone who can stick around for a good long while (not saying Vinatieri wouldn't, since I obviously don't know how long kickers play for).

why dont we go after any of these two guys? we havent had a sure thing kicker in a long time, with hall having his leg problems will he be cut?

too much money for either one of them.. plus VDJ has kicked in a dome for years.. not the same as being outside inthe winds

We don't want to go into the Season with a 110 MILLION DOLLAR TEAM, AND LOSE ON FIELD GOALS. RIGHT???? Didn't that happen to us in 2000? with Norv Turner?

Get Vinitari ASAP! :point2sky

you make a very good point.. we had a similar situation. a kicker, conway, who was `perpetually hurt and then it ended really badly.

hall has been hurt for parts of the past 2 years..

Gary Anderson was kicking when he was something like 44 in 2004.

and morton andersen wants to kick until he is 50 !! sean landetta IS nearly 50 and punted last year inthe nfl. barker is around 40.. tupa finally retired at about the same age..

but we had an experience with an aging eddie murray.. and it was not good

34 for a kicker is probaly like 25 for any other position..Kickers usally play longer.

still i would have him over hall anyday beacause he cant stay healthy.

what about a cheaper alternatives such as matt bryant, joe nedney, Josh Brown or todd peterson

Nedney signed with the 49ers the other day.

I couldn't agree more. A great kicker should be a huge priority. Hall has been very good WHEN HE'S BEEN HEALTHY. But, Vinatieri is great. More than that, he's unbelievably clutch.

Hall has also been shaky on kickoffs. Anyone know how well AV kicks off?

From what I know, Vinatieri would be a excellent pickup. Definitely my favorite of the remaining FA's available. Sounds like we won't get him, if we are to believe Vinny though. Before we signed Andre Carter, he said there was only one UFA we were still after. Oh well...nothing wrong with them changing their mind!!!
