Sometimes in the NFL, a player is in the league one too many years. That could be the case for Vinatieri in 2019.

2018 was an average season for Vinatieri and after deciding to come back for one more season, he struggled in what could be his final season in the NFL.

The struggles could be tied to the knee injury that occurred in the preseason as Vinatieri started the first two games 1/5 on extra points and 1/3 on field goals. 2019 was Vinatieri’s worst season as a kicker, career lows in field goal percentage (68%) and extra point percentage (78.6%) and his struggles arguably cost the Colts at least two games.

Vinatieri went on season-ending injured reserve after Week 13 and rookie Chase McLaughlin came in and played exceptionally, hitting 5/6 field goals and all 11 extra points. With Vinatieri being a free agent this offseason, don’t expect the Colts to bring back the 47-year-old kicker.
