I would rather get rid of Stewart than Kalil. The line performed much better when he was in there this past season. Larsen did admirably, but it just wasn't the same. But Getting rid of both for Norwell just doesn't make sense. I like Norwell, and hope he stays, but I just think some other team with cap space to spare is going to overpay for him.

Plus I think Star is gone, so that frees up some space as well.

Cutting Kalil alone would free up about 6.8 Million. You can get younger and stronger at the center and guard position in this draft.I think it's time to let Norwell get his money elsewhere...he's earned a big contract and we gave the big contract to Trai Turner. Moton has got to get in there and just play he was a second round pick it's time to see what he's got.

I think that having Kalil to mentor a new center would be worth the cost. I would say, give him a 1 year extension, turn his salary into bonus. That spreads it out over 2 years, and then let him retire at the end of the season.

Yea I strongly disagree. That's John Matsko's job to get the new center/guard ready to play.$6.8 Million saving against the cap would be a no brainer for anyone else. Not to mention it's no guarantee Kalil would play the full 16 game season anyway and give Kalil a one year extension? This season will be his last why give him an extension?

To reduce his cap hit this year. If the space is needed.

It's different since he is retiring soon. But in the words of Brett Farve "it's not my job to train someone to take my job"

Nothing is going to save cap room like releasing him.Larsen played well enough that we can trust him until the new blood is ready. This would a choice that the fans wouldn't like but I understand cutting Kalil and maybe tagging Norwell

The problem is that the NFL does the franchise figures for all OL equally. So you would be paying tackle money for a guard. 13.07 million.

Honestly, at this point I'd be more comfortable with him running this offseason just for the sake of continuity until new ownership takes over. Throwing someone in last minute who isn't familiar with the team doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

Yeah, unfortunately, I agree with you.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
