Panthers Have Interest In LT Matt Kalil - Official Info From A Source

For those of you with dreams of the Kalil Brothers on the same team, it's not as far-fetched as some think.

According to Voth and his sources with knowledge on the matter, Panthers are interested in seeking out Matt Kalil in Free Agency.

"We're in the unknown and we're going to move forward. We've got a plan and we'll just see where it goes. I can't give you anything more than that."

That plan, according to sources, includes interest in left tackle Matt Kalil, who's set to become a free agent on March 9.

The younger brother of Panthers center Ryan Kalil, Matt Kalil has been a disappointment after the Vikings took him with the fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft. But the Panthers believe Kalil can be more than serviceable with a change of scenery.

Don't be surprised to see Matt Kalil as another addition to our o-line. At worst he's a good backup with potential to become a starter there.

Although Kalil still has a ways to go to getting back to his amazing rookie season form, it's not too far-fetched to believe Gettleman can't do it again. He has potential to come and solidify the LT spot with our interior being one of the best, and help us out.

Another Oher-like possibility that does make a lot of sense.

EDIT: Since there are those who believe this was news that had broke grounds earlier; yes, Voth has mentioned multiple times in the past on the possibility of Matt Kalil. However, this article was the first that really said the Panthers themselves had the interest and that Voth got the info from sources.

Sorry for the confusion.

This isn't exactly breaking news

Actually, it kind of is. This shows the Panthers are actually interested in Mat Kalil like we are. The only things floating around lately have been "what if Matt Kalil were on the team?" 

Voth basically certified the Panthers have actual interest in that possibility. Pretty cool stuff.

Depends on your definition of "cool"....lol.

Voth has been saying this for a couple weeks now.

Voth doesn't often tweet stuff like this. When he does, it means something 

Well, appears he made that in an opinion-like sentence. The part I quoted stated Voth had heard from sources on the matter.

    • I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.
    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
