Kalil to IR

[KillerKat]

Blessing in disguise. And yet again under Rivera, it took injury to find the better man. Just wish after the season, itll take a firing to find a better coach.

fair point

Minnesota fans tried to warn us about Kalil, but we didn’t want to listen. I wish we would have gotten Whitworth instead.

[Jon Snow]

Yet another fail in a long list of franchise failures under the Mister's leadership.  Let's hope it's different under the new guy.

There is no more designated to return. Anyone put on IR can return after 8 games. Teams a limited to 2guys to pull off of IR. But they have to be on the original 53 at some point.  So no Seymour or Sirles. 

Viking fans are giggling at us with 2 old Vikes on IR. 

I giggle at the fact we beat them trotting out doo doo matt kalil at LT.

He's a bum but he might not be bad to have around for depth just in case we need it. I'd say he's gone after this season though as there appears to be more going on than just an injury.

This will not be popular on here, but I do not see this as a positive turn. I suppose the positive aspect is that it settles things for a few weeks. It is a great opportunity for Moton. I hope he seizes it and impresses. We will get a better read against the Dallas defense.

Kalil sucks but we gave up way more cap space and talent for Gilbert and it’s not even remotely close. You think Bailey, Arrington and Samuels could have helped against NE? Heck even if we stayed where we were we could have had Torry Holt (NC State) or Bailey in 1999 and Shaun Ellis (from Anderson, SC) or John Abraham (SC) who were picked at or within 2 picks of what we gave up. SMH at anyone who thinks Kalil’s deal is even remotely in the same zip code as Gilbert’s. 

To help, they would have needed to be drafted...not sure Capers was that smart on personnel  as evidenced by the Gilbert deal to begin with ...I believe Polian had been shown the door

[TheRed]

Officially one of the worst contracts in Panthers history. And that's saying something. Just be done with it now. Begin moving on, he will never be a viable starter or even a backup for us.

[AceMan]

Knew this would be one of the worst signings for our franchise...need to bump that old Matt Kalil singing thread for laughs and tears 

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

I thought there was an out built in to Kalil's contract.

[Paintballr]

My hot take for the year -

Both Matt and Ryan will retire together at the end of this year 

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

There is an out built into his contract!!!!

 

Kalil’s $7 million salary for 2019 is guaranteed if he’s injured, and fully guaranteed if he’s on the roster on the third day of the 2019 league year. He has base salaries of $10 million in 2020 and $10.5 million in 2021, when Kalil will be 32.

I think hurney reworked the deal and took the out out of it
