REPORT: Matt Kaili to re-sign w/Vikings

[TheSpecialJuan]

Free agent LT Matt Kalil could be open to re-signing on a team-friendly deal

Kalil spent all but two games of his contract year on IR with a hip injury. His best chance at reestablishing value is staying with the same system he's been in the last five seasons. Assuming the price is right, the Vikings should want Kalil back after fielding the worst tackle play in the league in 2016.

Dammit !

Kalil isn't very good, but neither is this OT FA class. Every one of them that re-signs just makes the class that much shallower and weaker and gives the other FAs more leverage.

[DamnItJake!]

..ok..good..never heard of him being that GOOOD

[t96]

I mean, anyone who thought he'd be an upgrade here is just delusional. He'd be better depth than Turner at tackle but that's about it and so would many FA OTs. Remmers and Williams are both much better than him. And Ryan can't just magically make Matt good if people were thinking he'd have an impact on his brother.

"Could" be a blessing in disguise. If that's a guy Gettleman would target to "fix" our OT problem...could force his hand to make more drastic measures and trade for/throw money at a better OT like Whitworth 

[Kakarot]

Welp..

[TheSpecialJuan]

I have a feeling Gman will do something desperate. Like trade our 2nd or 3rd pick for an OT

If I was forced to choose between Remmers at left tackle or Matt Kalil, I'd have to think about it.

I think I'd be ok with that.

Kalil was never the answer.  The Vikings have even less options than we do because overall their OL sucks worse, they have more holes overall, they don't have a 1st, they're are picking later in every other round, have less cap space, and Spielman doesn't want to look like even more of an idiot by jettisoning his top 5 pick.

[CWORS]

Man there went our Pro Bowl tackle!!!

[L-TownCat]

I'm confused, did someone actually think he's good?

Bust with a capital BUST.

Not that big a Matt Kalil fan, but that article only speculates that it could happen. Doesn't mean it will.
