[QUOTE=sherck;53428]The biggest factor is that AV is only 58 points away from becoming the NFL's career scoring leader. Do you not think that Jim Irsay wants the horseshoe on the side of his helmet when that happens?
I agree that we should do our best to resign AV but it takes two to tango....this may just be negotiating strategy on AV's part but if I'm him I would also do my best to negotiate from a position of strength and the fact of the matter is AV has performed consistently, the Colts have not....they want to keep him they gotta be willing to pay him, and beyond paying him they need to re-recruit him. Competitors like AV want to win as much as they want to get paid.

“I’ve been very fortunate to play on two very successful franchises over 22 years, and I enjoy playing on teams that win games,” Vinatieri said. “So hopefully we can get back there on this team as well, but that always plays a factor. It’s fun playing in January, February. It’s fun having a chance to play for a championship.”
