Carolina coach Ron Rivera didn't rule out the possibility of left tackle Matt Kalil, who had his knee scoped two weeks ago, go on injured reserve. “We'll see what happens. We've got a couple of more roster decisions to be made from what I understand.'' If a player goes on IR after he's named to the 53-man roster the team has the flexibility to bring him back after eight weeks. Kalil, a league source told ESPN.com on Saturday, isn't expected to be ready for the opener and it appears past that.

That would mean that he probably has eight games left with this team, in addition to the playoffs. 

if cut after this year, he's 13.7 against the cap. 

you can cut him the year after and it's only 1.8

wait another year and you save 6 mil by cutting him

i mean obviously sunk cost etc but the only thing worse than him being on the team will be his leaving it.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
