REPORT: Matt Kaili to re-sign w/Vikings

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.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
