Smizzy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Colts: Vandy on way out February 27, 2006 11:08 AM ET The News The Colts won't have Mike Vanderjagt to kick around anymore, as the eight-year veteran place-kicker will likely be wearing a new uniform next fall. "In our minds, we are looking," team president Bill Polian told the Indianapolis Star. "Mike will be free and he'll probably elect to go somewhere else. We figure it will be an area we have to fill." Our View Vandy is currently the most accurate kicker in NFL history, converting 87.5 percent of his field goal attempts. However, he's best known for shanks against the Patriots last season and in the Colts' playoff loss to the Steelers this year, and for ripping quarterback Peyton Manning on Canadian television. Vanderjagt's appearance on Letterman three days after his miss knocked Indy out of the playoffs wasn't exactly popular with his teammates, either. Given that Indy's offense produces an average of 50-plus PAT attempts per year, whomever takes over will fall into plenty of fantasy production. Current options include Dave Rayner, who stuck with the team as a kickoff specialist last season, and street free agent Shane Andrus, who last kicked for Murray State in 2002. Where does he go?

124 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 How could the Skins do this with their cap problems? No way. Exactly what we're doing. RELEASING PLAYERS. Plus, they don't have a 1st round pick to throw money at either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touche' on the no first rounder. But I heard it was near being the worst ever, as in no break for 2 years period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
