Scout.com: A number of teams are interested in Adam Vinatieri, Cowboys top list

According to the team, the Patriots decided NOT to place the Franchise or Transition tag on kicker Adam Vinatieri before the 4pm deadline today. Vinatieri, who played under the franchise tag in 2005, is scheduled to become a free agent on March 3rd if no new contract is in place. A number of teams are interested in the Patriots place-kicker, with the Cowboys being tops on the list. New England has until the start of free agency to negotiate a deal to keep the kicker in New England or risk losing him to another team.
