Officially retires
Vinatieri announced Wednesday on the "The Pat McAfee Show" that he has retired from the NFL after 24 seasons.
ANALYSIS
Vinatieri didn't play in 2020, and after turning 48 years old in December, his decision to step away from the game comes as little surprise. A four-time Super Bowl champion and three-time All-Pro, Vinatieri holds the record for most career points scored (2,673). He should be a lock for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Vinatieri struggled through the worst season of his lengthy career in 2019, missing eight field-goal attempts and six PATs in 12 games before a left knee injury forced him to injured reserve in early December. The 47-year-old is hoping to bounce back from surgery and play a 25th NFL season, but he remains unsigned.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No decision on Indy return yet
Coach Frank Reich said Monday that he's still waiting for Vinatieri (knee) to conclude his rehab before making a decision on whether to re-sign the veteran kicker, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Vinatieri said last week that he's faced quarantine-related challenges that have slowed his rehab from knee surgery, but he still hopes to return for a 25th season in the NFL. It remains to be seen whether the 47-year-old will be ready for action by the time the 2020 season rolls around, but it looks like he'll have at least a chance to return to Indianapolis if healthy. For the time being, the Colts will proceed with Chase McLaughlin, who the team extended, and UDFA kicker Rodrigo Blankenship.
