Don't Expect Ryan Kalil to be Cut

[chknwing]

Hurneys comments on Ryan

"On veteran center Ryan Kalil, who has said the 2018 season will be his last: “In my mind, the way I look at Ryan Kalil is the guy makes a huge difference for our line with the communication and the way he makes other players better. He’s the leader in that room. I think there is the importance that you see in what he brings to your team. When he came back the last four games, I thought he played well. He should just get better and stronger during the offseason. I think the importance of having him back is significant for us.""

Nor will he be taking a pay cut. Not after those comments.

[Mr. Scot]

Wasn't really expecting it, so no shock.

Ive felt some distain and frustration with Kalil primarily with his injuries. If he can stay on the feild and off the sideline im cool with it. 

 

Hasnt he missed more games than he has played last 2-3 years? 

 

Either way, gives us a little more time to find a replacement. Needs to be priority asap

How can you feel disdain for someone who's not playing due to injury?! It's not like he got hurt off the field. He's one of the top 5 centers in the NFL and he's been healthy most of his career. We should absolutely be looking for his heir apparent, but cutting him to save money would be really short sighted in my opinion.

That is one expensive clipboard.

Hurney's biggest downfall is his loyalty to his players.  I think he gets emotionally attached to them...Hurney is right, Kalil is a leader.  But you have to be on the damn field, Marty.  Why MH thinks he will be better after the off season is because EVERYONE gets better (healthy) during the off season.

He's played 15 games in two years

I think it is 14---not sure, but I can say he was paid about $20m during that time.

If we are to draft a center, there's not a better mentor to have than All-Pro Ryan Kalil.

Yeah we honestly run the organization too much like a family and not like a competitive business.

Historically the teams that have won Superbowls and continue to win decade after decade are the ones that draft well and have made one tough decision after another. We pass out lifetime payment plans to make sure guys great great great grandkids are still cashing our checks.

Yeah but either way like you said he's been stealing money for two seasons. 

[RumHam]

He's perfect if he can stay healthy. That's the problem. Actually I take that back. The real problem is the organization not telling anyone what the real problem was last year and if it's lingering.
