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'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
