Teams are watching the LT market and which domino falls first. Buzz around league is Matt Kalil is Minnesota or Carolina. @gmfb @NFLonFOX

I agree from what I have heard he is not that good at LT..not sure there is much talent out there besides old guys who use to be good or younger who don't cut it.. a big need around the league it seems like this year

I've heard mixed things, mostly bad like others have said in this thread, but he was a first rounder and didn't he have a pretty good rookie year? He's also kalils brother...

depending on the price might not be a bad signing. We really need some Gettlemagic on the LT position this offseason, find us a coleman esque player only at Lt

edit: heres a snippet from PFF on him, he was injured last year

Left tackle Matt Kalil (47.1) has been largely a disappointment since his wonderful rookie year of 2012, bottoming out in 2014, where his 55 pressures allowed were the second-most in the league among tackles. He improved slightly in 2015, where his 44 pressures allowed were just 18th in the league. Nonetheless, the Vikings are getting below-average production from their former top-five draft pick at a very important position in the development of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (77.4).

It's always a big need. LT is the most important position on the offense besides QB and good/great LTs are hardly let go. 

 

Have to sign him, at least for competition and for the mere fact playing next to his brother may bring out the best in him. 

 

I do not see any reason a realistic offer should not be made.

what a shitty world we live in. fighting over matt kalil with the vikings.

all of this because everyone hopes he's finally healthy and because ryan thinks he'll work out here.

i'll support him 100% if he comes here, but i just think it's sad that we're here with one shot because these dudes are brothers.

A reason might be they prefer another guy or guys

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
