So... Any Starting Caliber LTs Available in FA or via Trade?

A decent backup caliber LT would be an improvement over Kalil. I honestly believe that had Darryl Williams not gotten hurt we might be giving either him or Moton some looks at LT. Kalil is a huge liability, both on the field and against the cap.

I never wanted Matt and was very vocal about him being a significant downgrade from Oher...  but, i was hoping we could work around him...  it is clear, we can't and i don't want him getting Cam hurt.  I want him out of there ASAP.  As you said, I'm convinced there is a backup LT out there somewhere that is significantly better than Kalil right now.

We're just gonna have to bite the bullet and cut him next year. It's going to be brutal against the cap, but it has to happen. Post June 1st he'll hit us for about $6.5M next year and in 2020.

Patriots are a smart franchise why in the hell would they want Matt freaking Kalil?lol

They wanted Kony Ealy, Philip Dorset, Brandon LaFell, etc. etc. Belichick best coach ever... Far far far from best GM ever

They got those guys for next to nothing though. No one is trading anything for Kalil with his contract. 

I was obviously joking... but regarding Dorset they gave a backend starting QB/top backup with 3 years on his rookie deal, that's seriously valuable. Ealy was the equivalent of like a 4th and they've wasted many first rounders on sh*tty players.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
