Vinatieri Leaves Pats Offer On The Table

Boston Herald - Sources say the Patriots have offered Adam Vinatieri a multiyear contract worth more than $2 million annually that would keep him the highest-paid kicker in the game, but that he has not accepted it. Even with the start of free agency pushed back for three days until Monday, a source close to Vinatieri said he wants to let the market determine his value, ?like at an auction.?

In an interview published yesterday with the Orlando Sentinel, Vinatieri seemed to speak of playing for the Patriots in the past tense.

?I really enjoyed my 10 years with the Patriots,? Vinatieri said. ?It?s been a great time and I have a lot of good memories there. The New England Patriots are bigger than I am. There have been other people who have been released, and others who have been brought in, and that team?s been good no matter what.? [READ]
