Ryan Kalil $9.9 mil cap hit

[CatMan72]

Read this morning that Ryan has played only 14 games in the past 2 season and counts for $9.9 mil against our cap this year. It concerns me we haven't released him or forced him to restructure that contract heading into FA. I know he still has value and he said this was his last year, but this is exactly the kind of business decision Hurney must learn to make. I was encouraged by the release of Stewart, but this is discouraging. I would tell Ryan we love you, but we need to restructure this contract or your farewell tour will be in the uniform of some other team (similar to the way Gettleman handled Gross and Smitty, with a little more tact).

We don't need to restructure, we need to either negotiate a pay cut, or release.

 

That said, Ryan is AWFULLY important to Cam and our running game...not to mention we are likely losing Norwell, and we will have a fresh face in there at LG.

won’t happen

JR already decided that as long as he is in charge, players like kalil need to go out on their own terms, regardless of whether or not it is in the best interest of keeping the team competitive

[Dex]

Cut or restructure pls

[thefuzz]

Really no way to restructure, has to be a pay cut or an outright cut.

 

Would save 8.5M this year with a cut, as long as he's a June 1.

 

That said, I don't see it happening.

wow another R Kalil contract thread, glad this one is more informative than the rest

[OneBadCat]

We need Kalil. That’s the problem. We’re about to lose Norwell. It’s worth keeping the line consistent to have Kalil on the roster. There’s a big drop off between him and Larsen.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible at this point to restructure him without extending him. And you certainly can't extend a guy who's retiring next year.

Definitely hoping he plays more this year than he has previous years. Otherwise that contract is going to be a disaster.

[Growl]

Its a deep draft for C/G. There is perhaps the notion that you see how you come away there on draft weekend and if you feel confident with what you obtain then you June 1 him. If not, then at least you've got the position locked down for another year.

[Squirrel]

Time to cut him. 

[CPF4LIFE]

Cut his ass!

Can't be consistent when you aren't on the field honestly.

Kalil have busted back, his playing days are over

[Riv]

Larsen played very well last year I thought.  Didn't Khalil's return make us worse?
