Adam Vinatieri is the oldest player in the NFL at age 44, but he has no plans to retire.

"Yeah, you know I still love the game as much as I ever have," Vinatieri said. "It's fun running out onto the field. It's much more fun playing in the playoffs. Cleaning out your locker the first week of January is not a whole lot of fun and it always leaves a lousy taste in your mouth. I still love running out onto the field. I still think I can help our team win games and why not keep going?"

The Indianapolis Colts' kicker turns 45 on December 28. By the end of the season, he'll become just the eighth player in NFL history to play at age 45.

The Cleveland Browns have hired Ryan Grigson as Senior Personnel Executive. Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown made the announcement.

Grigson will report to Vice President of Player Personnel Andrew Berry.

“Ryan brings valuable experience to our personnel group,” said Brown. “He was raised as a road-scout and has been evaluating talent in this league for almost 20 years. We place a premium on that experience and on his passion for football. Ryan has much to offer to any personnel department and we are pleased that he chose to join our staff.”

“We are excited to add Ryan to our personnel department,” said Berry. “Having worked with him for four years with the Colts, I know Ryan is an individual with a palpable passion for scouting, a tireless work ethic and an insatiable competitive drive. His experiences as an NFL player and executive will prove valuable to the mission of our group, while his team-orientation and personal integrity will continue to strengthen our department’s culture.”

Grigson enters his 19th season in an NFL front office after previously serving as General Manager for the Indianapolis Colts from 2012-16.

The Indianapolis Colts have announced that they'll honor Peyton Manning with a statue outside Lucas Oil Stadium on Oct. 7.

The team will also retire Manning's No. 18 jersey and induct him into the team's ring of honor during halftime of the team's Oct. 8 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
