VirginiaMike Posted August 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Expected since Hopkins was drafted. Good Luck Rian Lindell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 He's been a consistent kicker for a decade, good luck to you Mr. Lindell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Have to think he will catch on somewhere. Still a good reliable kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted August 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 19, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted August 19, 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 19, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Kinda sad. I think he has a good chance of catching on with another team. Best of luck, Rian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 A piece of the team that has been taken for granted for years. The most reliable kicker in team history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
