Matt Kalil contract details


Recommended Posts

Kahlil is gonna get around $11 million a year.  Its around what tackles are going for in this market. What do you not get.

Guys like Robert Woods who 12 total touchdowns as a #2 receiver in 4 years (3 a year for you genisues) just got 5 year $39 million contract PFF grade 73.2 (Ginn's last year was 72.5)

Kenny Britt just got a 4 year $32.5 million contract his PFF grade was 76.5 (30 total touchdowns in 8 seasons)

Garcon just got 3 year deal that pays $23 million over first 2 seasons, first yaer is $16 million a year! averages 4 touchdowns a year.

These are just examples to my point... You have guys who have been OK at their respective positions and have had below average stats getting PAID! 

I know what you will say these are Wide receivers.. honestly first 3 ridiculous contracts that came to mind.  Everyone is getting these lucrative deals.  $11 million for a tackle isn't that much these days. 

Or we could have just offered him $8million, let him resign with the Vikings and had to resign Remmers for $9 million a year.

Can't make everyone happy.

I like the signing.

Because they let their happiness in life be determined by things totally out of their control, like a child might.

I don't think that's a fair generalization to place on everyone who's "panicking", but it probably does apply to some.

We had to do this and I'm fine with it.  You always over spend in FA and Gettleman hasn't done this really since he has been here.  If Kalil is the starter for that contact it will be a bargin.  Every contract is a risk.

The only thing relevant here is the 25 million guaranteed and the cap number going into year 3 when we extend or play it out before releasing him after 3 years.

This isn't the idiot Marty Hurney type contract. We're going to begood to go.

Might be time to look in the mirrah

Sheesh...shouldn't have consulted any Viking fans on this one. Says he repeatedly has battled knee injuries and that they may even be chronic. Mentioned he doesn't seem to care about football and that it is a 'high risk, low upside signing'. Meh. Hasn't offered much in the run game and is streaky in pass protection. 

i seem to recall similar musings by titans fans when the panthers signed oher.  turned out pretty well in '15

Yeah... most of my buddies are Vikes fans and basically just laughed and thanked me for taking him.

The "doesn't seem to care about football" may be a blessing in disguise. Maybe he was just unhappy in Minny? There has to be something for Gettleman to feel confident enough to drop 25mill guaranteed into this guys lap right? 

So maybe he's convinced Ryan that he'll be happy here combined with him finally being healthy and he resorts back to his rookie form?

We didn't have much of a choice.  We HAD to do something at LT, and there aren't a whole lot of LT's out there floating around.

Fingers crossed he is worth the dough.

Now that Cam will have time to throw, who will he throw to with Ted gone?  :(

Time for KB and Funch to step it up to G. Olsen level this season!

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
