ya know what, Adam...
 
was here longer than then the 2001 season. You know, back in the days with Pete Carroll, Drew, Terry Glenn, Chris Slade, and don't forget Chris Canty.

He's a nice cog to the machine, but not the machine. I will never forget his snow bowl kick against the Raiders.

However, Adam won't last forever. For example, Adam can't kick the ball into the endzone on kickoffs. (I have noticed that all last season way before he hit FA, BTW). Adam won't lose his accuracy, but will lose his distance. We got the best 10 years, his prime. At age 34, the Colts will NOT be getting his best years.

I think Todd Peterson would be a good replacement.

The only problem with him is he is older and they would have to bring in a kickoff specialist, because Peterson doesn't have a big leg.

If you were BB, at what age (taking into account contract) would you replace Adam?

Depends on how much of his decline has been due to physical problems.

He fell to 50% on kicks of 40+ yards this year, the lowest percentage of his career.
