A poster on ESPN brought this up from the profootballtalk.com rumormill and I think it is very interesting.

It seems that Uberstine contacted the Colts LAST WEEK regarding Vinatieri. However, when Adam was in Green Bay this weekend, he was represented by Neil Cornich's agency.
It was only Monday night that it was announced that Adam had fired the Cornich agency and that he'd hired Uberstine. Unfortunately, the NFL has a rule that a player must wait either 3 or 5 days (I've read both) before being able to hire a new agent.

AlJack said:On Friday, when Vinatieri was visiting the Packers, he was represented by another agent from Neil Cornrich's firm, since Cornrich currently is serving a two-year suspension. But the source tells us that Polian has said publicly that he was contacted last week by Uberstine regarding the possibility of bringing Vinatieri to the Colts.
If true, it's a potential problem for Uberstine, given NFLPA rules mandating that five days pass after the termination of one agent and the hiring of another.
