The offer sheet for Lindell is proof that the Bills were not going to pay top ten kicker money for Mike Hollis, who was looking for about $1.3 million a season. That’s a 50 percent raise from last year’s $650 thousand dollar salary.
Bills GM Tom Donahoe was apparently convinced that Hollis was going to stick to his guns on that figure in light of recent deals for John Hall (5 years $7.13M) and Chicago’s Paul Edinger (5 years $7M) and decided to look elsewhere.
