Kalil dealing with knee injury

This is bad bad bad news.  He sucks but this appears to be something serious.  

 

That wording is very specific.  The "evaluating" the situation and not knowing more means there are tests being done which means it isn't a minor injury.  (assumptions here but it seems to be that way).

Just wondering aloud.  Is there any cap relief if a player lands on IR for the season?  What implication would it have for our cap situation of Kalil were found to be "injured" and sent to IR?

I'm almost certain that there's not. I wonder if the potential to reach an injury settlement with him exists?

Honestly, I'm not so sure this isn't a good thing. Kalil is trash. If he's going to get hurt, the earlier the better. Maybe this will force us to make some kind of move at OT.

About as much relief as a kick to the junk

Was thinking the same thing.  Not wishing injury on anyone but I almost believe if we had cap relief we could pick up one or two big fellas and have a decent patchwork line.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
