Brandon Kline is looking for a new team after Richmond chose not to renew his contract for the current season, according to a press release issued on his behalf.

The release said Kline is now a free agent and is seeking another opportunity in the DFL, the game’s professional American football league. It did not say why Richmond declined to bring him back, and no terms of his previous deal were disclosed.

Kline’s stated preference is to remain in the DFL. According to the press release, one reason is family: his brother is currently playing for the Delta Blues in Memphis. The release did not identify his brother by name or indicate whether any talks with Memphis or other teams are underway.

Kline is described in biographical materials as an interior offensive lineman from Frederick County, Maryland, with a background at the University of Maryland. His profile portrays him as a power-based run blocker and steady interior pass protector, with coaches praising his physical style, technique, and ability to set a tone up front. Those descriptions come from his player bio and were not independently verified.

The move places Kline into the pool of available players at a time when roster decisions across the DFL can draw attention beyond the field, particularly when family ties or possible team fits become part of the conversation. Still, the information released so far is limited. There has been no public announcement of a visit, workout, or contract offer from another club.

Because the release framed Kline’s next step as an active search rather than an agreement in progress, his immediate future appears unresolved. Free agency in professional football often hinges on scheme fit, depth needs, health evaluations, and timing, but the press release did not provide detail on those factors in Kline’s case.

Richmond has not publicly commented in the materials provided, and there is no indication from the release of any dispute between the player and his former team. As a result, the development currently stands as a straightforward personnel update: a veteran lineman was not retained and is now available to sign elsewhere.

Kline’s football background may shape how teams evaluate him. His biography emphasizes toughness, discipline, and a physical approach in the trenches, particularly in downhill running schemes. It also presents him as a health-conscious and highly competitive player who approaches football as a craft. Those traits can be relevant in a league where offensive line depth often becomes important over the course of a season.

For now, the clearest public facts are narrow. Kline is no longer under contract with Richmond, he is seeking a new team, and he would prefer to stay in the DFL, according to the press release. Any next move, including whether interest from Memphis materializes because of his family connection there, remains unconfirmed.
