it's not even about their RFAs, they simply were right at the cap and needed to create some breathing room anyway. A Lindblom buyout was the easiest and most convenient way to do so, especially at 1/3 due to his age. If they want a serious run at Johnny, they'll have to get rid of JVR or give up on Konecny. If either of those things happen, we can still all panic. But the Lindblom buyout in isolation isn't a huge deal, that was probably always going to happen.
