The Indianapolis Colts don't want to change their lineup too much, as a new report suggests that the team is interested in resigning Adam Vinatieri.
Colts want to re-sign Adam Vinatieri, per source.

If this turns out to be true, Vinatieri will definitely be one of the oldest players on the field, at 46 years old. He would be returning to the Colts for his 24th NFL season, if indeed the team does agree to re-sign him.
Vinatieri is set to meet with the Colts on Tuesday, per another report from NBC Sports.
Chris Ballard, the Colts general manager, said that he and Adam Vinatieri have been in communication and are close to striking a deal.
“Do I think he can still kick in the league and be a really good kicker? Absolutely I do. I’ll just say this: He is as important a guy in that locker room [as anybody]. I don’t know if I’ve been around a special teams player that has an much impact as Adam does in the locker room, from a positive standpoint. All of our young guys that come in get to see Adam Vinatieri work, rehab, prepare his body every year, be a pro, handle the hard times, handle the good times. All of that of what Adam brings, brings a lot of value to this team.”
Adam Vinatieri is scheduled to become a free agent in March, so it should be interesting to see if he re-signs with the Colts prior to his free agency, or if he ultimately pursues free agency.
