Someone's reporting his contract is increasing from 10 million per year...

 

Guarateed money matters more than the headline numbers...but if Kalil is getting 10/, there is no way we can sign him.  That's crazy.

Oh, he was getting 10 million per year originally with the old Viking's plan.

I can tell you if there's a 'substantial' increase we won't have him.

The only way Kalil is worth signing at all is on a cheap prove it contract.

He is probably going to squeeze an extra 10 to 15 mill out of the vikes.

The answer is on the roster.

It would be pretty out of character for Dave to give out a 4-5 year contract. His first year here he gave almost exclusively 1 year deals.

Gettleman will do the right thing I think.  Yeah we are desperate but we cant give him more than 4 yrs at more than 7 or 8.

Then let him be depth. Competition.

 

Personally, I'm a play it safe guy. Right now I'm counting Oher out, at the very least not expecting him to come back to full form, which was slightly better than average at best. 

With that in mind, I'll correct myself and say I don't see a good reason as to why more than one candidate should not be brought in. Especially at realistic, prove yourself offers given Kalil needs to, and has zero leverage.

Because guys like Kalil will cost 11 or 12 mil a season. You pay that they have to start

Can't deny I'm having concerns that we're going to overpay out of desperation and it'll turn out like Justin Hartwig all over again.

$9-$10 mill a year is not an overpay, that's going rate for free agent Tackles that don't just fall over these days. Either the DE position has improved drastically or there is a severe OT deficiency in the league

I read some Vikes boards and most said they would resign him - relucantly.  That was until someone said they offered 3 yrs 30 mill.  Then it was hell no!  Insanity to do that.. I mean basically he hasnt done anything good for while.

From reports, it's looking like $9-10m is a bargain for Kalil. We're talking about 12-13m now.
