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

meh they can have him 

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

    • I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.  
    • I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too. 
    • I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
