I wish him the best in in post Colts endeavors.

I'd like to see him come to camp next year and compete for the job.

As I suggested in another thread, he just might ........ perhaps for the Colts, or for another team.

If most (or all) of this true, I would not count out the possibility of Vinatieri kicking in the NFL next season ........ whether it be with the Colts, or another team.

The scenario sounds mildly reminiscent to when Andrew Luck talked about how he rushed his rehab before and during the 2017 season, the season of which he missed completely ........ there were major differences between the two situations (such as the fact that Luck was much younger than Vinatieri is now, that he was a QB and Vinatieri is a kicker, and that his injuries were considerably more serious that were Vinatieri's), but the lack of patience with the rehab/recovery process is similar.

It would really, really, REALLY suck if he ended up kicking the game winning FG for another team to eliminate the Colts in the playoffs.

Aye, would suck if any kicker does that, not just Vinatieri. I think the general consensus is that Vinny is done and such a scenario would be incredibly unlikely.

The Patriots are having a lot of kicking problems this season ........ it would really suck if he went back to them and had a good season in 2020, regardless of whether or not they wound up facing the Colts in a playoff game.
