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.

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.

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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
