I think with his contract, Matt will be kept on the roster for at least one more year. The coaches have to be honest with themselves and understand that Matt is a bust FA signing and should be used as a backup until they can get out of his contract. 

We can cut him after 2018 as a designated post-June 1 cut and save $1M on next years salary cap.

Dead money from his contract will still be impacting Carolina for the next 4 years but, after this season, he can be cut with no negative impact on the salary cap.

On the following link, select the "Cut (post-June 1)" in the pull-down box: https://overthecap.com/player/matt-kalil/1793/

Yes. Moton or Clark are vast improvements at LT. The lineup we had Sunday did a great job. When Trai comes back it should be even better. Question is, do we cut Kalil this offseason?

As Bad as I've seen Ryan Kalil play Clark-VRoten-Larsen-Turner-Moton may be our best line (assuming Williams is on IR for good).

   You don’t get 3-4 years to pay that dead money off. We have to eat 4.9M next year and 9.8M in 2020. Nothing else is guaranteed so we aren’t saving anything. Just getting rid of sunk cost.

Luckily Gettleman made the contract so they could dump him next year. What a waste of money. Truiy disappointed it didn't pan out. At least they tried. 

  Using the word “luckily “ when referring to the Panthers and how DG made this contract is about the LAST word I would use. 25M for ONE awful year of play that we haven’t even made a dent in , cap wise. Nightmare would be far more appropriate.

I get Kalil is bad and all but...

 

 

1. I love Carl Lawson... he's a fugging beast and SUPER strong and was a fugging steal in the 4th round when Cincy picked him.

2. Clark's "technique" may be awful, but he ain't holding.

3. Clark's "technique" prevented Lawson from getting to Cam.

Kind of like Cam throwing off his back foot, if the "technique" works, I DON'T GIVE A POO.

Daeshon Hall could have been Carl Lawson and Eddie Jackson just by not trading up. Can’t believe Carl fell that far.

Yeah, I thought maybe Carolina avoided Lawson because he was a little light at 255-260 to play 4-3 DE.

Then they went drafted a 235 lb guy this year without near the ability that Carl Lawson had/has.

I thought maybe it was his height(frame) and scouts didn’t think he could add weight. I was complaining about the Steelers passing on him 3 times. He’s a born 3-4 OLB. 

  Then Haynes happened. Screw theories. It just sux.

He's up to 265 this season and looks even stronger and faster.  Yeah, I think he fits better as a 3-4 OLB, but at his size and raw strength and athleticism, pretty sure at this point he could also play 4-3 DE.

Some players put on extra weight to play a position and suffer for it.  Others just get better.

He’s bigger than Mario was at his age. And is ridiculous strong. So he could handle full time DE. He......ah hell. I’m pissed again.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
