I don't know much about this guy except that he had a pretty good rookie season kicking for the vikings. He was in a kicking battle with Paul Edinger,but I think he got cut because he had a minor injury. I don't know what his track record is kicking in outside weather, but he might be worth a look since we're auditioning kickers.

Once the Viking reach an injury settlement they will probably release him from I/R, and he will be able to look for another team.

Re: Aaron Elling
Originally posted by NE39He has not yet been released. The Vikings placed him on IR. It is likely just a procedural move while the team and player negotiate the value of his injury settlement. His injury was a strained calf, so it doesn't seem worthy of keeping him out for the season.

For the grief Lindell gets, Buffalo isn't the easiest place to kick. There are better kickers in the NFL, but don't just make a change because you don't like the guy.
Tood France, who Buffalo worked out today, reportedly had a real strong preseason in Tampa. However, he is an untested player.

Re: Aaron Elling
Originally posted by NE39He was OK last year, kicking in a dome. If the Vikings were so thrilled with him, I can't imagine they would have brought in Edinger. He is a young guy, so he could improve, but I don't really see where he is an upgrade over Lindell.

Re: Aaron Elling
Elling has been hit and miss at best, if he was 1/2 ass good, Edinger wouldn't have been called in.You think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!

Re: Aaron Elling
Originally posted by jfreemanHe's like Mike Hollis... slightly better than Lindell, but not much of an upgrade.
Eiling sucks. He has the leg but no accuracy. The Vikes demoted him to the kickoff guy last year and brought back Morten Anderson to handle field goals. Now that Anderson is again retired, the Vikes demoted Eiling again by bringing in Edinger.
Lindell is a ton better than this guy.

Re: Aaron Elling
Originally posted by KerrYou sure? I couldn't have sworn I read somewhere he had been cut.
At that point, the Vikings either had to reach an injury settlement with him and release him or place him on IR. They placed him on IR, but are still negotiating with him on an injury settlement. Once they reach a settlement with his agent they can release him from IR and he becomes a free agent.
It is just a procedural thing, but until they officially release him from IR he remains their property and can't work out for other teams.

Re: Aaron Elling
Originally posted by NE39He was actually. He was Waived/Injured in the final cutdown. When a player is in that category, his rights revert back to the team that waived him if he clears waivers without another team putting in a claim for his rights. That happened with Elling.
