According to SI's Don Banks. Two-year deal.

I wasn't as against him as others, given his record on grass. But it's hard to get those game winning misses out of your mind.

Yes!!!!!!!!!

This should really put the pressure on the Pats front office.

If they don't sign Edinger today, he will probably end up in

Green Bay and the Pats will have egg all over their face.

No they won't. Average to above average kickers who can kick in the clutch are a dime a dozen and can be found from many sources. I'd take an average kicker at $500K over Vinatieri at $3.5M.

Thank you sooo much Mr Jones!

Relieved...that Vanderjerk signed in Dallas and not here! What entertainment value that locker room is gonna be. I predict now that this will be the death of Bill Parcells. Without a doubt, having to deal with T.O. and Vanderjerk will certainly give him a fatal heart attack.

Thank God. He is actually a good K, but I just do not like the guy.

awesome!

I say sign some FA from the CFL or the European league.

I don't think good kickers are that easy to find. Just look how many kickers Dallas has had recently trying to find one good one. BTW, Vinatieri is getting 2.5 per year, the 3.5 was the signing bonus.
