David Newton *PREDICTION*: Matt Kalil will be released

[countryboi]

I remember when we signed him and someone from the Huddle did a recap of his history with the Viking and if it was any good in him. He was like it was all bad....

 

looks like it really was all bad

That's a great point.

David Newton with the least boldest prediction in the whole article.

Now there's some fake news!

Fixed.

It's Newton's "bold prediction", not a report of something that's actually going to happen.

It might happen, but it's not guaranteed.

GET EM OUTTA HERE. 

Thanks for nothing gettleman.

I’ll guarantee it.

I'd at least see if we could get Gettleman to throw a draft pick our way before outright releasing him.

I stopped reading at Donovan Smith is the best available option. Or I should have. 

Lets see. The injury guarantee is his entire salary of 7M. Not 1M. And he’s not restructuring anything. Recommending we keep him is completely ignorant. But pretty typical of that site. Uninformed fans grasping to ridiculous theories. And they found a guy at OTC as clueless as them.

  We give him 7M more and Hurney/Rivera should be tarred and feathered at midfield.

Exactly

Clear the way to build good depth behind Moton and Williams.

THIS FA period will be VERY un-Jerrylike. I look forward to the new approach.

Consider that the odds of finding someone as good as Kalil—as low a bar as that may seem—who would cost less than Kalil are less than zero. Then consider that the Panthers would still have to carry a significant amount of dead money from Kalil’s contract regardless of how they release him. In a year where the roster is full of holes and the Panthers don’t have a whole lot of cap space, adding a hole and decreasing the amount of money they have to work with just doesn’t make sense.

This is an excellent point. We might just be stuck with Matt Kalil this year.
