Yep. Hurney pulled his ol' 'kick the can, down the road' approach.

Moton gets to play all 16 games at LT now and Williams will be back soon for RT. That's the tackle combo we need. Just took a funky route getting there.

If Matt Kalil has played his last down of football as a Carolina Panther, I'm okay with that.

Right.

Moton starting hopefully at least 7 games( week 4 is a bye) should give Ron all he needs to announce Kalil is backing him up

First, none of that posted has anything to do with the guaranteed 25M we have paid him. All that is if he is on the roster next year which ain’t happening. There was never an “out”. We gave him 25M guaranteed and we have to still account for 14.7M after this year. All Hurney did was spread 10M over 4 years instead of eating it all THIS year. As it was plainly written in the original contract. By Gettleman(or JR) or whoever we are blaming this week.

Reading the tea leaves, the Matt Kalil contract is one we can ditch after this season.  We will.  This IR move is for the roster spot.  he is depth at best for the rest of the season.  I will be very surprised if a  Kalil is on the 2019 roster. 

If you are wondering about my credibility, I predicted that Doss had a chance to make the roster in July AND that Allen would be on the PS.

(I will not reference my miscalculations at this time)

The Kalil Brothers will both have plenty of time to spend all of that money after this year.

Whats the only thing worse than a $55 million contract for a starting LT who sucks?

A $55 million contract for a backup LT who sucks.

I kept hoping for improvement, and we did see some last year, but his preseason was so bad.  Its official, this signing is a disaster.

If I read this right, it will be like 5 mill in dead money.

So if Mack goes out and blows his knee out and can’t play anymore the Bears still owe him 90 mill.  Jesus.

A football player needs the guarantee with the injury uncertainty caused by such a physical sport amongst physical freaks... but this guaranteed portion is getting insane.

Cut down on total contract worth, while also guaranteeing a reasonable amount, but do not sell your franchise for one player who comprises less than 2% of the roster.
