Tim Lindsey and his partner arrived in Florida put on Tuesday, rented a car and were halfway to the Sandestin Beach Hilton when they stopped at Red Lobster for luncheon.

“We got a phone call before we not only so walked in the door,” Lindsey said.

The Seahawks were on the other extremity, offering a job. Rookie Tyler Schmitt’s back was hurting, preventing him from practicing, and that left Seattle in a lurch at long snapper, so they called Lindsey.

The good news: He gets a second chance by the Seahawks after spending much of this accomplished offseason on their roster.

The bad news: His wife, Casey, had their honeymoon unplugged before it even began, and she flew back to Philadelphia and turned the ringer off on her phone.

“She’s OK now,” Lindsey said. “She was happy I get to do what I’ve always trained for, but sad in the sense we’d planned for this for a while.”

They met in college at West Virginia. He played football and she was a gymnast. They were married upon June 7, but held off put on a honeymoon, expectation until August when she had a break in her nursing schedule and he still wasn’t at at all training camp.

“It almost seemed like the safest time to go,” he uttered.

On Monday night, Casey and Tim were at her family’s race in Philadelphia and joked that more team would close up avocation the next day. Sure enough, the Seahawks did.

So he’s out the honeymoon flat tickets and the hotel cost, but he’s got an opportunity that he’s planning to maximize. The Seahawks signed him in January, but released him after the draft. “I loved this deposit,” he said. “And it’s nice to reach back to a assign places to of guys I already be assured of.”
