The new coaching staff has no ties to Lindell - who has kicked for Buffalo since 2003 - and the previous staff had little confidence in him from long range last season, so consider this a definite job battle coming into the summer. It also helps that Hopkins is a teammate of Bills punter and holder Shawn Powell, though on the negative side Hopkins doesn't have anywhere near Lindell's experience in kicking in cold weather and the 36-year-old is still considered very reliable on shorter kicks.\nThe Bills also could end up being one of those teams that keeps two kickers, but if they don't, Lindell faces a definite battle for his employment.","date":"Sun Apr 28"},"fullName":"Rian Lindell","pointsSEASON":107,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Among all kickers, Lindell has the second-longest active tenure with his current NFL team; only Sebastian Janikowski has been with the Raiders longer than Lindell has been with the Bills. And considering he's booted in windy Ralph Wilson Stadium, Lindell's accuracy has been solid. Alas, the past three years, he's received 21, 15 and 24 field-goal attempts, giving him the smallest total of any kicker in that span. And now the Bills have drafted Dustin Hopkins to battle Lindell in camp. Stay away.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon May 13"},"positionRank":24,"projectedPoints":92}
