The Facts:
Vinatieri left his visit to Green Bay on Friday without a contract. It’s unclear how well or how deep the negotiations between his agents and the Packers went, but there’s every reason to think the sides have engaged in serious discussions. Vinatieri had dinner with Packers officials on Thursday night, including Andrew Brandt, who once was Vinatieri’s agent and is the team’s vice president of player finance.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Vinatieri, the top free-agent kicker on the market, also is considering re-signing with the New England Patriots, his team for 10 years. Getting him to leave his NFL roots in the Boston area won’t be easy, and the Packers had some concerns he might have visited only to get New England to increase its contract offer.
