Wayne Cubed Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Just got an update from the Bills App. Will post story when it surfaces.
VirginiaMike Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 The Bills have released Rian Lindell. Nice to do it now so he has a chance to catch on with another team. He was a good addition to the team for a long time.

CountryCletus Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Even though we all saw the writing on the wall, wow...
Doc Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks to Rian for the last decade and best of luck to him.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Expected since Hopkins was drafted. Good Luck Rian Lindell.
HamSandwhich Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 He's been a consistent kicker for a decade, good luck to you Mr. Lindell!
5 Wide Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Have to think he will catch on somewhere. Still a good reliable kicker.
thebandit27 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 By the end of the season, he'll likely have a job somewhere. That said, I'm happy with the move. Lindell was a good kicker, and is on the downside of his career. Hopkins was a wise investment of a 6th round pick. Good luck, Rian.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Big thanks to Lindell for his years of service...always a professional with us. Looking forward to many game-winning field goals from Hopkins!
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Good luck Ryan, and thanks for all the big kicks when we needed them,. Only hope Hopkins is as good as you for the next ten yrears or so.
UConn James Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 It's a nice gesture that they released him now so he'll likely be able to catch on with another club. And if it doesn't happen right away, he won't be out of work for very long. It was likely a consideration of both money and a feeling that they should err toward youth and try to get some gel time with a kicker/punter combo that can be with the team for another 10 years. So, we're full-on FSU for the kickers (and, one may speculate, QB). Did Hopkins and Powell(?) work together / FG-hold at FSU? Ramius?
Dorkington Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Pretty inevitable. Thanks for all the good years, Rian! Hopefully someone picks you up, or you have a kick ass retirement!
Fan in Chicago Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Just got an update on Facebook. Lindell has been released. Thanx for your service.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Kinda sad. I think he has a good chance of catching on with another team. Best of luck, Rian.
bills1960 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 A piece of the team that has been taken for granted for years. The most reliable kicker in team history.
BringBackFergy Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Good luck Rian....so there's another $1.5 Million to stuff under our team mattress for a rainy day???
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Good luck Rian....so there's another $1.5 Million to stuff under our team mattress for a rainy day??? We had to free up some money somehow to sign Aaron Maybin.
