Ron Rivera: Panthers still have more roster decisions to be made

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.

    • And its two fold from there, we knew we were going to stink next year, we knew he wasnt going to play right away and we knew the 2025 rb class was absolutely fuging loaded.  So none of it made a lick of sense
    • Here for the lively debate but don’t devolve into “you don’t know the game” stuff. ..with that PSA over, I lean more to the it was a mistake camp myself.  It wasn’t a good move. Many people reference Frazier but it is was a few guys. I thought Sainristil would have been perfect for us. Although I will say, I don’t mind taking RBs high depending on the talent. It was him being injured and his talent relative to the other RBs in his tier that makes me less than thrilled about it. 
    • If you're insinuating Bryce Young is the only player people here have been critical of we don't even need to discuss any further because folks who have actually seen the threads knows that's factually incorrect. That's the issue and where the disconnect begins. You perceive an honest assessment and basic straightforward acknowledgment that while we can like the player on a personal level ultimately the pick was a mistake given what we know now and the other prospects that were available. None of that is the personal slight you perceive it to be. Honest discussion is not doom and gloom. If someone wants to reject the reality is front of them that is certainly their prerogative. What I'm trying to tell you is you are never going to find the dialogue you seek as long as this is your basis for the framework of discussion about our team. I'm not asking you to leave. I do believe you bring legitimate value here. I'm simply offering you an alternative if you insist on rolling out this same approach when the season rolls out. Because although optimism is high right now sooner or later we might hit a bump in the road. And conversations will likely get the opposite of glowing positivity. But that's alright. That's the rollercoaster of sports fandom. We'll survive.
