Vikings release former Packer kicker Longwell

May 8, 2012 By Bill Scott

After selecting Georgia kicker Blair Walsh in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings released 16-year veteran kicker Ryan Longwell.

The 37-year old Longwell had three seasons and $7-million left on a four-year contract he signed last summer.  That deal included a $3.5-million signing bonus.  Longwell was scheduled to make $1.75-million in salary this coming season.

Longwell played the first 9-years of his career with the Packers.  He currently ranks 13th in NFL history and 4th among active kickers with 1,687 points.
